This is practical whenever you need to go to a new device, but there is a critical thing that is missing, and it is also the possibility of storing ESIM data in a backup. Although SIM cards are physical parts that can be exchanged from one device to another, ESIMs are completely digital, which means that it is a slightly different process.
It could be a big change
Fortunately, it seems that Google takes all the hard work of the process by saving ESIM data, so that you have access to it even if something happens to your phone. This is something that even Apple does not allow, which could give users of Android a small advantage.
Although we would like to say that this is now available to experiment, it seems to be just an overview of what could possibly happen in a future update. THE The people of Android Authority shared the details From this feature that could be in progress by searching the code of the last beta of Google Play Services, version 25.16.33, which includes a line on ESIM backups.
In addition, this feature is also mentioned in a newly redesigned backup screen for devices. We do not know how this feature will work in full, but for the most part, it looks like something that could be a huge improvement in the current configuration, and will also provide a more complete solution when you have to restore your data to a new device.
As you can imagine, it can be quite painful with a single ESIM, but if you store several esims on a single device, it could become even more delicate when you are looking to start with a new device. For the most part, it is really worth keeping an eye on.
And you will most likely hear about it again when, and if it comes out. But for now, you will have to be a little more careful with your device, because ESIMS storage in the cloud is not yet one thing.
