I have been trying to move my iPhone number to my S26U, but when I go to settings > google services > backup and restore the option to connect to iPad/iPhone is not there. I done all the updates, full resets and still not there. Can someone help me confirm this option is not available?
 
Welcome to AC!

Settings>Accounts and back up>transfer data for device setup ?

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking under Google Services. Where you are supposed to be able to manually connect to transfer esim.
 
Sorry I'm not following what you mean?
If you go to settings. Then scroll down to where it says Google Services. Click on that. Then click all service. Scroll down until you see the back up and restore section. Do you see an option that says Pair Iphone/ipad? It's used to transfer esim when you can use the qr code.

You need to use Smart Switch to transfer your esim and data from your iPhone to your Samsung, it will automatically also transfer your esim and number to your new phone. Your Samsung phone should already have Smart switch and you can download it to your iPhone from the store.
