Is there an Android version of TrailCam?

No. TrailCam is built for iPhone only, so a route history and the media pinned to it live inside an app with no counterpart to open them on a different operating system.

If I already uploaded my hikes to Strava, will they still be there after I switch to Android?

Yes, for the track itself — Strava keeps an Android app, so signing into the same account from an Android phone reaches the same uploaded history. That covers the route; it does not restore a photo or voice note that was only ever pinned inside a separate recording app rather than uploaded to Strava.

Is there a way to save a hike's photos and voice notes before switching to a phone that can't run the app?

Only by pulling them out individually through whatever export or share option the app offers, since no common trail-data format carries a photo pinned to a point along a route. Saving the pictures and clips themselves, on their own, before the switch is the way to keep them — the pin to the exact spot on the map is what gets left behind, not the file.

What happens to your hikes if you switch from iPhone to Android?

A hiking app's export button and its own history screen are doing two different jobs, even though they both sit on top of the same recorded route. GPX and CSV were built to move a track — the coordinates, the elevation, the timestamps — into whatever app opens next, regardless of what phone or operating system that app happens to run on. The photo pinned to the overlook, the clip of the creek crossing, the voice note about which fork to take — none of that was ever inside the exported file to begin with, so a change of phone platform cannot take away something the file was never carrying. What it can do is leave you without any app in which to open the version that still has it.

The short answer

The track survives a platform switch about as well as it survives anything else — export it as GPX or CSV, or upload it to a service with apps on both iPhone and Android, and it opens the same way regardless of which phone asks for it. The photos, video clips and voice notes pinned to specific points along that track are a different matter: they live inside the recording app's own history, tied to an account built for one platform, and if that app has no version for the other platform, there is nothing on the new phone to open that history with. Nothing gets deleted in the process. It just becomes unreachable from the phone now in your hand.

What actually travels: the exported track

GPX is plain text — a list of points, each with a position, usually an elevation, and a timestamp — and that simplicity is exactly what lets it survive a change of operating system without noticing one happened. A file exported on an iPhone opens the same way on a computer, a website, or an Android phone, because nothing about the format assumes a particular device. The same goes for a CSV export, and for any hike already uploaded to a service that keeps apps on both platforms — Strava, Garmin Connect and Komoot all do — since signing into that account from an Android phone reaches the same history an iPhone would have shown.

What stays behind: the pinned photo, clip and voice note

A photo, a video clip or a voice note pinned to a point on a hike is not stored inside the GPX or CSV file at all, on any platform — that limitation was already there long before a phone switch entered the picture. It sits in the recording app's own history, associated with a point on the track by the app itself rather than by anything the export format understands. Moving to a phone that can run the same app changes nothing about that arrangement. Moving to a phone that cannot run it at all removes the one thing capable of showing that association back to you, even if the underlying files still exist somewhere on a server.

Why this is different from an iPhone-to-iPhone switch

Trading one iPhone for a newer one and signing into the same app afterward works because the app itself makes the trip along with you — install it again, sign in, and it reaches for the same cloud history it always had. That step does nothing on a phone running a different operating system if the developer never built a version of the app for it, because there is no install step to take. The history has not moved anywhere or been deleted; there is simply no matching piece of software on the phone in your hand to ask for it.

Where TrailCam fits in

TrailCam is built for iPhone, without a version for other platforms, so this is worth answering honestly rather than glossing over: a route exported as GPX 1.1 or CSV — for a single hike or the whole history at once, which is part of the optional TrailCam Pro upgrade — opens on anything that reads those formats, Android included. The photos, clips and voice notes pinned along the way stay inside TrailCam's own history, the same as they would for any app built for one platform rather than several. The app itself is free to download.
