In the near future, changing smartphones could become much less stressful for Android users, according to what emerged in the last few hours, Google would be working on one new features that would allow you to include the esim in the backups of the devices; A step forward that has long been expected, which could significantly simplify the management of mobile connectivity, especially in emergency situations.

Let’s find out all the details that emerged thanks to a recent analysis of the V25.16.33 version of Google Play Services by the codes hunter Assembradebug.

Google One may soon include Esim in backups

The Esim, now adopted on most of the high -end Android devices, offer numerous advantages compared to traditional physical simes: no decks to open, no risk of loss of the card, and the possibility of managing more profiles with greater agility.

However, as many of you have experienced, there is still a great criticality, if a smartphone suddenly breaks the esim on another device can become an odyssey, which often requires the intervention of its telephone operator; Unlike the classic physical sim, in fact, there is no simple and universal method to move an esim between two Android phones, especially if that of origin is unusable.

According to what emerged, Google would be integrating SIM backup support (presumably esim since physical ones are not influenced by the cancellation of data) in the automatic backups of Google One.

Sims

An important novelty, considering that up to now the SIMs have not been mentioned or included in the backups of Android devices. The possibility of saving and restoring the Esim via backup It would make it easier to change the phone even in delicate situationssuch as the loss or sudden failure of the device, without having to face complex reactivation procedures or wait assistance from telephone operators.

With this functionality, the backup of the Esim would facilitate the passages from one device to another even when the old phone is no longer working, it would reduce the reconfiguration times of the mobile network, and would make the device restore after a reset (remember that Android already allows today to keep the Esim data during a restoration to the factory settings, but only if the user explicitly selects the option).

However, if during the reset the Esim is canceled, it is currently necessary to reactivate it through the operator: in the future, thanks to this novelty, a simple restoration of the backup could be enough to return immediately operational.

At the moment, as usual, there are no certainties on the timing of release of the novelty, the presence of the code suggests that Google is experimenting internally the functionality but it is not guaranteed that it is made available to the public. However, considering the enormous practical utility, especially for those who often change smartphones or want to protect themselves from unexpected events, we hope to see it implemented as soon as possible; We just have to wait to find out more.
