It doesn't copy over your login details for other services.19:33:43 / Posted by Keisha Alice to Android Device Tipsįollow Galaxy S20 series is one of the most eye-catching smartphones this Spring and many Android users have turned their eyes to it. It's worth noting, sadly, WhatsApp users still can't transfer messages from iOS to Android, and you'll also have to manually sign into a lot of the apps like Facebook and Instagram. What's more, the messages were there, contacts were there and even blocked numbers carried over. Once done, the phone had almost all of our apps installed, with many organised in the same folders, we even had the same wallpaper set on the home and lock screen. It can take quite a bit of time to transfer. Once you've selected all the items to copy over, hit the big blue transfer arrow at the bottom of screen, and now you wait. To get your apps across, tap on the little arrow next 'Apps', and on the next screen you'll need to sign in with your Google account so it can find your apps on the Google Play Store.

If you want the phone to look and feel like your iPhone, you can even copy across your home screen settings which will not only copy over the lock screen and home screen wallpaper you have on your iPhone, but also group your apps together in the same folders you have on your iPhone. If you already use a service like Google Photos to backup your photos and videos, you can deselect those.

There's a good list of options to choose from on this next screen, so here you can decide if you want your settings, contacts, photos, videos, apps and so forth, so you need to decide which you need to transfer over now and which have cloud services managing the backups already.

If it isn't, you can find it on the Google Play Store, and download it from there. It'll probably be in the Samsung folder, with all the other Samsung apps.

You'll find Smart Switch in the this list. Unlock your new Samsung phone and navigate to Settings > Accounts and Backup.
