Android 9: Transfer apps - this is how fast it is

Many users do not want to switch to a new cell phone because they are afraid of losing their data and photos. Also the new setup of the smartphone often keeps from a change. Yet transferring data and apps is very easy and pleasant to do.

How to transfer apps to Android 9?

There are several ways to transfer apps and data. Sometimes you need to use multiple ways to transfer all the data from your old phone to the new one.

1. With Google, you can already transfer user data such as calendar, contacts, settings, emails and app data.
2. In the Google Cloud settings, check if all relevant data is synced. If this is the case, you only need to log in on the new phone with your Google account, and all the data will be there for you.
3. You can also transfer photos. To do this, simply go to Google Photos and into the settings. Here you will find the option "Backup & Sync". Activate this, you can back up your photos in the cloud and download them on the other device.
4. If you do not want to go through the cloud, you can also use Android's Nearby technology. Dazu verbinden Sie das neue Smartphone während des Einrichtens mit dem WLAN und wählen „App & Daten kopieren“ aus.
5. Sie können natürlich auch ein Backup auf einem PC speichern und dieses dann einfach auf das neue Smartphone spielen. Das ist der einfachste und sicherste Weg.
