Over the past year, Samsung and Google have successfully narrowed the gap between Android and iOS through innovative cross-platform capabilities. For example, Google found a workaround to make Quick Share compatible with AirDrop<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

In a similar vein, the latest Galaxy foldable phones, announced at Unpacked in London alongside One UI 9<\/a>, introduce an easier, upgraded way to transfer files and data from an iPhone or an iPad. Here’s how it works.\n<\/p>\n

\nEvery One UI 9 Smart Switch upgrade for iPhone users\n<\/p>\n

Whether you’re using a wired or wireless connection no longer makes a difference in terms of what you can or can’t transfer. The wireless Smart Switch transfer process has been upgraded. iPhone and iPad users can now wirelessly transfer all the data types that were previously available only through a wired connection.\n<\/p>\n

To top it all off, Apple fans don’t even need to install Samsung’s Smart Switch app to transfer data from their iPhone or iPad to one of the latest Galaxy Z devices. No app install needed. It just works, and the steps are fairly straightforward:\n<\/p>\n

\nLaunch Smart Switch on the Galaxy phone.\n<\/p>\n

\nSelect Receive on this phone, followed by iPhone\/iPad.\n<\/p>\n

\nScan the QR code with your iPhone.\n<\/p>\n

\nSelect Transfer to Android on the iPhone and tap Continue.\n<\/p>\n

\nScan the QR code again.\n<\/p>\n

\nSelect the data you want to transfer from your iPhone to your Galaxy phone and follow the prompts.\n<\/p>\n

The other huge component of this Smart Switch upgrade is that iPhone and iPad users can now transfer additional data types.\n<\/p>\n

Here is a list of everything you can transfer from your Apple device to the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Fold 8, or Fold 8 Ultra, even on a wireless connection. The new items are marked accordingly:\n<\/p>\n

\nNEW: Passwords and Passkeys\n<\/p>\n

\nNEW: Accessibility Settings\n<\/p>\n

\nNEW: Call History\n<\/p>\n

\nNEW: Wi-Fi Networks\n<\/p>\n

\nNEW: eSIM\n<\/p>\n

\nApps\n<\/p>\n

\nApp data\n<\/p>\n

\nAlarms\n<\/p>\n

\nCalendars\n<\/p>\n

\nContacts\n<\/p>\n

\nFiles\n<\/p>\n

\nHome Screen Layout\n<\/p>\n

\nMessages (with the option to choose how attachments are handled)\n<\/p>\n

\nMusic\n<\/p>\n

\nNotes\n<\/p>\n

\nPhotos and Videos\n<\/p>\n

\nVoice Memos\n<\/p>\n

\nWallpaper\n<\/p>\n

The upgraded Smart Switch experience is part of One UI 9, so for now, it is available exclusively on the latest foldable phones.\n<\/p>\n

Although it is currently missing from One UI 9 beta builds on the Galaxy S26 series, it should become available on more devices once One UI 9 exits the beta stage and begins rolling out more broadly.\n<\/p>\n

On the Apple side, the upgraded Smart Switch features are supported on iPhones and iPads running iOS 26.6 or later. Once again, you don’t need to download any apps on your Apple device to start the transfer process.\n<\/p>\n

If you’re tempted to switch to a foldable phone this summer, it’s never been easier. And with the addition of the passport-style Fold 8 model, you’ve never had more options to choose from.\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the past year, Samsung and Google have successfully narrowed the gap between Android and iOS through innovative…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":829274,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[36561,1572,16357,49,48,267250,154876,258054,3692,1575,190,217623,267925,61],"class_list":["post-829273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-android-17","tag-apple","tag-apple-iphone","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-galaxy-z-flip-8","tag-galaxy-z-fold-8","tag-galaxy-z-fold-8-ultra","tag-ios","tag-iphone","tag-mobile","tag-one-ui-9-0","tag-smart-switch","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/829274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
