Google is reportedly developing a feature for Android devices to back up SIM card data to Google accounts. This would simplify the process of switching phones, especially if the old device is lost or damaged. The backup likely pertains to eSIMs and would complement existing backups for apps, contacts, and messages. While the implementation details and carrier involvement remain unclear, this feature promises a more seamless phone transition experience.
