Google One’s Game-Changing Update
eSIM Backup Feature Set to Simplify Android Switching by 10x—Here’s What You Need to Know
Google’s Bold Move: eSIM Backup May Soon Arrive in Google One—Here’s How It Could Save You in a Phone Emergency
eSIM adoption is on the rise, thanks to its sleek, cardless convenience—but what happens when your phone gets damaged? Unlike physical SIMs, eSIMs can’t be swapped out, making network recovery a real headache.
Now, fresh code spotted in Google Play Services v25.16.33 beta suggests a breakthrough: Google One may soon back up and restore your eSIM data. This feature could revolutionise how Android users switch or recover phones.
For the first time, a “SIMs” option appears in Google’s redesigned device backup interface, hinting at future support. While physical SIMs remain unaffected by resets, eSIMs still rely heavily on carriers—until now.
Why does this matter? Because if your phone is lost or broken, you may not need to call your carrier anymore. Just restore your eSIM with a few taps—no more SIM drama.
Google hasn’t announced a release date, but insiders say this could be a game-changing update for millions.
Will your next phone switch be the easiest ever? Here’s what we know so far.
