What’s new in iOS 26.3?
Transfer to Android
As part of a joint effort between Apple and Google to make switching between the two platforms easier, Apple is launching Transfer to Android in iOS 26.3. The feature, which can be found in Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Transfer to Android, lets users transfer photos, messages, apps, and even phone numbers to a nearby device running the required version of Android Canary.
High-bandwidth Wi-Fi connection
Notably, Apple states that health data, Bluetooth-paired devices, and protected items are not available for transfer. However, the companies say that additional data types will be added as the testing process continues on both platforms.
iOS 26.3 includes several EU-mandated updates, including support for high-bandwidth Wi-Fi for peer-to-peer use. This new high-bandwidth network connectivity is the same one that’s powering the aforementioned Transfer to Android feature.
