In a joint collaboration, the tech giants have developed new features that will simplify the process of moving data between their respective platforms. This move is designed to make switching between the two ecosystems more accessible and user-friendly.
The upgraded experience is now rolling out with a new Android Canary build for Pixel devices, according to the companies.
