Please note that to transfer data using Smart Switch:
● Both devices must have a minimum of 500MB free space in internal memory.
● If you are using a wired connection, your device must support a Transferring media files (MTP)' USB option to allow content to be transferred.
● Before you start, find out if your device is compatible with Smart Switch. If you are transferring data from a non-Galaxy device, you will need to download Smart Switch from the Google Play Store.

● Most app data will transfer, however any secure or encrypted data (e.g. WhatsApp chats) will not be transferred.

● Smart Switch may not be able to transfer login details to specific apps, such as mobile banking apps. Make sure that you know your login details for any apps you wish to use on the new phone.
