What is OnePlus Switch?
OnePlus Switch is a free app created by OnePlus to help users easily transfer data from their old Android phone to a new OnePlus smartphone. It provides a simple way to migrate data without cables, the cloud or computer backup. Users can transfer a wide range of data including contacts, messages, call logs, photos, videos, audio files, documents, apps, settings and more.
To use OnePlus Switch, users simply need to have both their old Android device and new OnePlus phone connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The app utilizes a local Wi-Fi connection to wirelessly transfer data between phones. After installing OnePlus Switch on both devices, users can select the type of data they want to migrate and the transfer will start automatically over Wi-Fi.
OnePlus Switch aims to offer a seamless transition when purchasing a new OnePlus device. Moving data with cables or cloud services can be slow, complex and insecure. OnePlus Switch provides a cable-free, private way to switch phones quickly. It currently supports transferring data from many older Android phones from brands like Samsung, Google, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi.
As OnePlus continues updating OnePlus Switch, compatibility and the types of transferrable data are expected to improve over time. For Android users buying a new OnePlus phone, the OnePlus Switch app offers a simple, free way to get set up quickly by moving data wirelessly from an older device.
