Samsung Smart Switch 2022 | How to Transfer Data to a NEW Phone

[@GedNEUK]

Needed a straight forward tutorial to send to my 60 year old sister who is not at all "techy" minded, so needed a video which explained things in an easy step by step way as I live to far away to do it for her. Video was perfect @ Lucky Tech Life, thanks for uploading it was a great help ;-)

[@denni1588]

tysm, just got a new phone unexpectedly yesterday and i have no idea on how to transfer all of my important things. so thank you sir for this tutorial, i am now patiently waiting for it to completely transfer everything. thank you once again :)

[@LuckyTechLife]

Glad I could help! Thank you for watching!

[@aliciarodrigues9030]

thanks this is very informative. I just bought my samsung galaxy s22 and doesnt know how to set it up. I would like to ask if before transferring all the data the sim has to be inserted first to copy all my contacts. hope i could get a response from you ASAP. thanks

[@LuckyTechLife]

You can transfer the sim before or after. It wouldn’t matter because now a days, SIM cards provide service and don’t hold info. You just don’t want to change sim during the transfer because some phones will prompt a restart. Thank you for watching! Let me know if you have any other topic you would like me to cover!

[@VivereLiberumSeuMori]

Very good video. I have two questions if you could please respond I would greatly appreciate it. 1) on my old Samsung I have some apps stored on micro SD due to storage issues.Will they transfer automatically or do I need to restore them to internal memory before switching?? 2) I have most apps from Google play and some from the Samsung store so should I use the Switch app from the Samsung app Store or Google? Thank you in advance!

[@LuckyTechLife]

@Kevlar, When you are using Smart Switch, It should give you the option to move items over from Internal and SD. If the SD option doesn't show for apps, then yes, move them over to internal before the transfer. You can download the switch app from either sources. They're both the same! Thanks for watching!!

[@esseobi2032]

Best video so far on this topic. THANKS!

[@LuckyTechLife]

I appreciate the kind feedback! Thanks for watching!

[@trishmckenzie8810]

Great info. Thank you. So prior to this video I watched your tutoria on how to back up to Google. My question is... if I back up everything to Google so I can start fresh on my new Android Phone will I be able to go to Google Drive or Google one and transfer the files i want to keep to my new device? And... if so will my contacts for example have all the data as it was? Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated 🙂

[@LuckyTechLife]

If you backed up your info to google you should get a replica of info when you get a new phone. On the new phone, don’t set it up as new phone, when you get into the google login screen, type in your google info and it should have your last back up after you’ve followed the prompts. 😁

how do you like your flip 3 any problems ? i just ordered flip 4. thanks for your video.

I'm very impressed by your video, which stands out from the rest. But I'm not at all tech savvy and won't give it a try until you've granted me your professional advice about two key issues: 1) is Samsung Smart Switch compatible with LGK8 and Moto G5 or do I need to download "Smart Switch: Transfer my Data" instead? 2) will the transfer remove the data from my old phone? Look forward to your reply with anticipation and tons of thanks in advance!

[@LuckyTechLife]

Thank you for the kind words! To answer your question, if your old phone are able to download Samsung Smart Switch, it should be able to connect to a new Samsung phone to start the transfer process. When you start the transfer process, the information from the old device will not be deleted. What Samsung Smart Switch does is, copy information from old and then paste the information to new. So if you’re worried that you may not have everything on the new phone, you can always relay back to the old one. Thank you for watching!

[@748818]

@@LuckyTechLife Thank you so much for your prompt reply to have solved an important concern of mine. But I really have no idea if my old phone (LG K8) is compatible with Samsung Smart Switch. And my new phone is Moto 5G. Please kindly advise if it will be okay to download Smart Switch instead of Samsung Smart Switch to avoid any incompatibility if there is, but with the same results. I apologize for having to bother you once more and hope you don't mind. Thanks again!

[@leesa7557]

Thanks so much!! Yesterday I looked at a couple of other videos on this topic and I just couldn't do the transfer. Thankfully I found your video today and all I needed to do on my old phone was install the smart switch ap, and then everything worked perfectly. The other videos kept taking me to settings to look for smart switch and it wasn't there so nothing happened. Obviously, I'm not tech savy so thanks a bunch for the part about installing the ap on the old phone.

When it wants account information, doing this transfer, what do they mean? Also, will this work transferring over Crypto exchange apps?

Hi, just a clarification. I need to switch data from my old S10 to the new S24 using Smart Switch. I mounted a memory card on the old S10. How can I transfer the data stored on the memory card to the new S24 considering that there is no memory card slot on the S24? Does Smart Switch include this possibility?Thanks for your help.

Thank you for this great video. I am not technically inclined but still can understand it. However I have a few questions: 1. I noticed that you don't transfer the account. Is there any reason for that? When should I have my account transferred? 2. I have 3 google accounts. If I am going to transfer the account, do I transfer the 3 accounts?

[@LuckyTechLife]

I typically log into accounts after the transfer is done. People like to transfer accounts before the transfer process. People can do either or. Thank you for watching!

[@LeslieGrantlovefaithhope]

Can you use smart switch more than once between the same phones? Let’s say you’ve added new messages in between starting to use your new phone. And want the new phone to be up to date with messages and call history? Been trying it and now the old phone will only receive data from new phone. When I want the old phone to resend the data to the new phone. Looking for help.
