Go from Apple to Android without losing information with Samsung Smart Switch, three options that will make us pass data super easy.
Changing mobile phones can be a real headache, even more so if there is a change in operating system. Let's try a simple very illustrative guide to make your life a little easier, Samsung wants to take care of its users and that is why it has a native Samsung Smart Switch application, to pass data with the idea of being able to renew without complications, and have a stronger base to dethrone his most direct rival.
Samsung Smart Switch
Smart Switch is the program devised by Samsung and we must acknowledge to the developers how well thought out it is, it offers us three possibilities when it comes to passing our information, by computer, by cable with USB Connector and wirelessly. In this aspect, when it comes to attracting new customers, Samsung is unbeatable, there is no manufacturer that is so adapted to a brand other than its own.
First option: Computer
The first thing to do with this first option is to have Apple's iTunes program installed on the computer, to make backup copies of the iPhone, once the copy is made, you have to download the Samsung Smart Switch program from the official website of Samsung for computer. When the program starts, it automatically synchronizes all the copies that exist on our PC, and, therefore, as soon as we start the application, it tells us with a message that there is a copy from iTunes and if we want to restore it now, it immediately shows us the files that we are going to restore on our Samsung.
The only two drawbacks that you can find are: that the applications downloaded from the Apple Store are not compatible with Android, and that in WhatsApp you will not be able to recover the conversations since the cloud used in each operating system is different, iCloud for Apple, Google Drive for Android.
Second option: USB Connector
In this case, it does not matter if you come from an iPhone 4, 4s, 5s, 6, 6s or 7, all you have to do is connect the USB connector with the charging USB that the manufacturer offers us to charge (without transformer), the order of connection to transfer the data is: USB connector to the new mobile and Lightning charging connector to the old mobile; Once the process has started there are four phases: program that we want to use, connecting to the iPhone, calculating data and finally transferring data.
As in the previous case, it is possible that Apple applications are not available in the Play Store, if they are purchased and they are also on Android, they will have to be bought again.
Third and last option
The last option that Samsung offers us is via download, that is, when we start the application it makes us choose which operating system we want to transfer the data, if we choose iOS it will give us the option to choose via cable with USB (option two) or wirelessly via iCloud, all we have to do is put our Apple ID and password. When the application finishes posting the data in the cloud, it shows us what data we want to pass to our new Smartphone.
Once the transfer process is finished, the last application step is to save and manage the acquired files, and we already have our Smartphone configured. The application must be given a lot of credit for the ease of all the aforementioned processes, Apple in this case has a native application built into its iPhone Move to iOs, and it does not work so smoothly and even so fast.
