Please tell us other ways to transfer your data to a new Android phone in case Patrick didn't cover it. Also watch last weeks video how to use AirDrop th-cam.com/video/KFwr0ZwYKSQ/w-d-xo.html and as always we're open to suggestions.
I went from iphone to pixel and it was super easy and surprised me that all my stuff moved over. Only thing I miss is imessage, forgot just how pants sms is.
@@ጂዩዝ I have been incredibly nervous to switch knowing how locked into apple I was, I have a tonne of apps and a ton of apple music, this gave confidence.
Helpful information, so thanks for posting. I've been an Apple guy since 1983, so I'm pretty much baked into the whole Apple mantra. Even so, I'm growing long in the tooth with some of the design philosophies under Tim Cook. I've been toying with the idea of switching over to android for the last couple of years, but if I do, it will be for something on the high-end scale. I run the risk of buyers' remorse, so I decided to check out this video to see just how easy it is to switch over. The process is a bit scary in so much that it's not just the new phone but the trend to go with wearables. Apple excels in this area with the AirPods Pro and Apple Watch. Granted, they don't quite work as advertised that is way ahead of everybody else. However, the new Motorola Razr has caught my attention in a big way. I will likely buy into one of these as a separate stand-alone account while retaining my Apple gear and ecosystem. It's a risky proposition, but your video has demonstrated just how easy this may be.
damn, I didnt know that its so easy to switch to my pixel 6. Didnt even know there's a adapter coming with it! I really enjoyed the video and you're very spmathetic - even showed some parts of the video to my girlfriend because I thought they were so funny. Nice one, Imma sub.
Great video! Your humor is so cute. I really enjoyed it. What about NOTES? is there a way to transfer them from an iOS device to Android besides emailing them one by one? I was hoping you'd specifically mention that.
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S21 and transferred my notes from my IPhone 6 from my iCloud account. You first go into settings on your iPhone and turn on notes. Upload to ICloud all notes then use Smart switch app downloaded to iPhone to transfer your notes. Hope this helps. ❤️
For people looking for transferring over only contacts or only photos/videos use “Copy My Data” Download it on both the devices and just follow steps. The app transfers : Photos Videos Contacts Calendar
There's an app on my iPhone that you can't download anymore (not flappy bird) that I want to move to my new note 10 plus and smart switch couldn't transfer it. Is there a way I can transfer that app?
If thier was no Google play version then no. If thier was and it's not on the play store anymore, you can download the apk online, and if it is thier, you should be able to rebuy it. You can tdownload apps on iOS for free on Android if thier paid apps
Very much appreciate the information you provide, thank you. Suggestion, turn off the background music. We came to hear you not music which quickly becomes background noise. Many folks have hearing issues, many have language comprehension issues, thus fighting the background music becomes extremely annoying.
Thank you for an informative video! After transferring data onto the Iphone with the QSA, how exactly will the text messages & imessages appear on the android?
really good video!! i usually never watch videos in this genre but i really appreciate the production. you made very high quality content, i enjoyed it and it helped me out
This is the first vid from your channel that i have watched and I really like it. So much in fact that i turned that suspicious red button to a not so suspicious grey button. Btw im planning on switching from iPhone 8 to google pixel 4a.
You are very entertaining besides being extremely informative. Now...one question...WHERE do you get the Samsung doohickey to plug the apple cable into????
so does it for the third option, successfully transfer messages to your phone and keep your phone number? Also, does that adapter come with the phone or do you have to buy it separately? Great vid, hilarious!!
Had a problem transferring my Notes app on my iPhone 6 to my Galaxy Note 8 using Smart Things. I had to add everything manually. I also had issue where some of my information didn't come across from my calendar.
Dumb question, but will this transfer over iTunes playlists, or just the songs themselves? Also, what about movies, tv series and music video’s with the drm removed? I have a couple hundred smart and non smart playlists made up of over 11,000 songs. I also have in my iTunes library 72 movies, 18 tv series, and 172 music video’s. So the capacity limit of 512 gb on an iPhone no longer cuts it for me, I need that 1Tb capacity. I really am sick of apples ecosystem and limited iPhone capacity but do not want to waste a month of my life, reorganising about 580 odd gb of data and playlist info etc. Am I trapped in the Hel of apple ecosystem, or does meticulously maintained metadata and playlist info copy over? I know, I know, we are all supposed to just rent songs per month etc, but I own my smegging music from cd’s etc though some is from iTunes. TIA.
Great vid. Almost persuaded me to watch Roadhouse 🙂 But not quite. 😂Does the widget thing come with the Google Pixel? And if you use that do I not need to do the Google Drive stage at all?
My hubby wants me to switch to Android/LG. Is there ANY way that I can get my apps to transfer with my saved progress, or am I going to lose all my apps no matter what? This is why I'm so hesitant to switch.
Great video!! Super informative and you just took the fear out of the whole switching over issue. I am a 12 plus year Apple user that just jumped ship over to Samsung. Can you tell me what the actual name of the “adaptor doohickey” is? And where I can find one?
Hi Patrick, very informative. Have just got a Samsung phone. Will try to switch from Apple ; have been using apple for more than 10 years. Will let u know results👍😊.
Using a cable to transfer from iphone 7 to s20 note. Once it starts the process immediately says "connection lost" and doesn't work. Any help to fix this issue will be amazing. Thanks
great vid! I did switch to the Iphone 12 mini from my Pixel 5 for about 2 weeks(just for the fun of it)... well I'm ready to switch back but only missing those 2 weeks worth of sms/txt/call logs that I'd like to transfer over.. any tips on that? I'd prefer not to reset the Pixel phone to use the dongle/wired transfer. I'm debating on losing those 2 weeks vs going through the rigoramoral of resetting.
I use google photos already on my iPhone lol and I pay for storage space for google already. Didn’t realize the switch would be this easy, I’m going to buy the pixel 4a for sure
"Doo-hickey". What a great presentation style and personality. Love the humor! Thank you!! And invaluable info as well. Fantastic on all levels. Thanks for posting!
this is not working for me. I have done the backup on my iphone, and I see the content on the google drive app. than I turned on my android phone(redmi note 8 pro) and can not see any fresh google drive backup at all. nothing saved really on google drive just on the app shows that on iphone
Folks, I have 8 years of iMessages on iPhone 6s plus and am planning to buy Note 10+ and transfer, what's the likelihood of successfully transferring all the iMessages ? If not possible, I am stuck with iOS ecosystem and will have to buy iPhone 11 pro or Max or wait for next year iPhones

You were born to make super funny and super useful tutorials mate. Keep it up and thanks.
I never knew messages could be transferred. That’s awesome. Thank you.
Not true. Cannot be transfered. Just tried from 7 plus to 4a. No such thing
Well made video, informative and entertaining. Didn't know about the plug in device to help transfer device very helpful advice.
It’s just a usb a to usb c adapter
First of all, you are HILARIOUS!! Thanks for making a potentially daunting task really straight forward :) Great video!

You can back up WhatsApp messages on your old phone and then restore the backup on the new one 🙂

Hey did it work on oneplus? How did you transfer your data from an iPhone? Looking for suggestions! Thanks
Can u use your iCloud account for the google thing
For people looking for transferring over only contacts or only photos/videos use “Copy My Data”
Download it on both the devices and just follow steps.
The app transfers :
Photos
Videos
Contacts
Calendar
Quality video demonstration big man. Knew the iphone would be a bit painful but this video made the process stress free. Thank you
very useful! After years of boredom under IOS, the fun has started from the data transfer itself thanks to you!
Great video and love your sense of humor.
I love the video but I must have missed what the “doohickey” is and where to get the one for Galaxy phone...
Jeffrey Johnson same. I need one.
Mine came with it in the box
Question: Is it wiser to switch?
Tower work in my area causing longer connecting.
Where do you buy the adapter? Would have been nice to have a link in the description
Comes with the Pixel

I am transferring from an iPhone to a Huawei and I don't believe they sells a dongle like the ones you show in your method. Any advice?
I’m having issues transferring iMessages over to my s20. Any tips?
When do you put the sim card into the android? Before or after the transfer?
I was thinking the same thing. Did you ever find out please?

Do you turn your messages off when transferring from iPhone to Samsung too? Also why do you need to turn it off?
*Hi, does this work for iPhone 11 Pro to the Samsung S21 Ultra?*
*Also, does the Google Drive back up things like voice notes etc?* Thank you.
Does it work from Android to Iphone aswell?
I think I messed things up during the beginning set up is there anyway I can go back to that option so I can transfer my apps?
Hi Sir, I've bought a LG velvet and it doesn't seem to work the same way. Can you tell me if there something different ?
