Before you transfer your data, be sure to back it up. Follow the link to Google's
official instructions in the description below. If you are setting up
a new Android device, you should be able to turn
on your new phone, tap start, and follow the prompts to restore data previously backed up to the cloud. Otherwise, here's how to
transfer the data manually. If you've been accessing
contacts on your Google account or music through services
such as Apple Music, YouTube Music, or Spotify,
then your data should be available after installing those apps and logging in to your accounts. Using Google Drive is a great way to upload and download any files. Be sure that you are logged
in to your Google account, then open up the Google
Drive app on your device. Once in the app, tap on the plus button and then on "Upload" to
upload files to your drive. Once the files have
completed their upload, you'll be able to view or download your files on your new phone. For photos and videos specifically, you can use Google Photos. You need to make sure
that you have sync enabled on your device for this. Again, ensure that you are
logged in to your Google account. Open the Google Photos app, tap your account picture in the top right, then tap "Photos settings." Tap "Back up & sync." Then toggle "Back up &
sync" to the on position, if it's not already. Now, on your new device, log
in to your Google account and open the Google Photo
app to see your photos. If you have been using
Google Calendar already, your events should
appear on your new phone once you log in to your Google account. If you would like to import events from another calendar service to Google Calendar before
switching to a new phone, follow the link in the description below to the Google support
page for this process.
