All your data transferred from old phone to new one properly. Photos, contacts, messages, apps - everything moved and working. New phone set up ready to use, old phone wiped if you're selling it.
### Stop Losing Your Photos
New phone arrives and it's **exciting until panic sets in**. How do you get your 5,000 photos across? What about WhatsApp chats? Your contacts? That authenticator app that locks you out of everything if you mess this up? The stakes feel too high to risk doing it yourself.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The automatic transfer tools work about 70% of the time. The other 30% something goes wrong and you lose data or lock yourself out of accounts. Worth getting it done properly.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Assessment & Prep I check how much data you've got on the old phone and what transfer method will work best. Make sure new phone is set up with your accounts (Apple ID or Google account). Check both phones are charged and connected to WiFi. ### Step 2: Data Transfer Transfer depends on phone types. iPhone to iPhone uses Quick Start or iCloud. Android uses Google backup or cable transfer. Switching platforms needs manual approach - photos via Google Photos, contacts via accounts, apps manually reinstalled. Takes longer but gets everything across. ### Step 3: Apps & Verification Apps get reinstalled on new phone. I log into the main ones (email, WhatsApp, banking with your help for security codes). Check photos are all there, contacts complete, messages visible. Two-factor apps moved carefully - this is where DIY often goes catastrophically wrong. ### Step 4: Final Setup & Old Phone New phone gets any final tweaks - wallpaper, notifications, settings to match how you like it. Old phone either gets completely wiped if you're selling/trading it, or left as is if you want to keep it as backup.

Good to Know
> 📱 **Keep old phone active?** If you're switching to a new number or canceling the old SIM, don't do it until after transfer completes. Some verification codes need to come to the old number during setup. **Selling old phone?** I'll wipe it completely using factory reset, making sure no data remains. But only after verifying everything transferred successfully to new phone. **Apps with local storage?** Some apps store data locally not in cloud - those need specific transfer methods. Banking apps, authenticator apps, and some games need careful handling to avoid losing access or progress.
Frequently Asked Questions about Data transfer phone in Crediton
What does phone data transfer involve?
It's moving everything from your old phone to your new one - photos, contacts, messages, apps, settings. I transfer the data using the most reliable method for your phones (cable, cloud, or wireless), set up the new phone, log into your apps, and make sure everything's there and working. Your new phone ends up like your old one, just faster and with more storage.
Can you transfer between different phone types?
Yes but it's more complicated. iPhone to iPhone or Android to Android is straightforward. Switching from iPhone to Android (or vice versa) takes longer because apps and settings don't transfer directly. Photos, contacts, and videos move fine, but you'll need to reinstall apps and log in again.
What about WhatsApp messages - can they transfer?
Depends. iPhone to iPhone transfers WhatsApp fine. Android to Android too. iPhone to Android or vice versa is problematic - WhatsApp doesn't make it easy. I can transfer recent chats but not full history. Photos and videos from WhatsApp transfer though.
How long does the transfer take?
Depends on how much data you've got. iPhone to iPhone with 50GB of photos usually takes 1.5-2 hours. Android transfers vary more. Switching platforms takes 2-3 hours because it's more manual. I'll estimate once I know your phone models and data size.
Do I need both phones during the transfer?
Yes - I need the old phone and new phone together, both charged. Also need any passwords/PINs for accounts (Apple ID, Google account, app logins). If you're keeping the old phone as a backup, I'll leave it intact. If selling it, I'll wipe it after transfer.
