ICloud App (YIMG)

This week, Apple introduced a new service designed to make it easier to transfer data to Google Photos. Using this service, users can move data in the form of photos or videos.

As explained by the company through supporting documents, users can send data already stored on iCloud Photos to other platforms. Because what is sent is a copy, this data transfer does not delete or change the data stored in iCloud Photo.

"The transfer process takes three to seven days. We need that time to verify user requests, as well as for the submission process, "said Apple through official Apple Support documents, Thursday, March 4.

Unfortunately, not all data formats can be transmitted. Some of the data formats available in iCloud - such as Smart Albums, Live Photos, or RAW files, are not available for transfer.

In addition, this service is only available in a limited number of countries. Such as Australia, Canada, European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Therefore, for iPhone users in Indonesia, please be patient first. You see, in the document, Apple did not explain its plans to expand the coverage area of this service.
