Switch to Samsung from Apple

[bromley2110]

Made the switch from Apple to Samsung, just to understand if what I want is possible.

I've manually installed the apps as I know the apps work on different platforms but is there is the following I'm struggling with:-

• can I get text messages transferred across
• can i get health data from the iOS health app transferred across (guessing no)
• can I get notes transferred across
• I'm missing old messages in facebook messenger
• how to get favourites moved to edge from safari (I can probably do this one)
• how to get favourites moved to edge from duck2go (I can probably do this one)
• which is the best maps app to use (no ads please)
•  
•

Thanks I used that and moved my notes across but not the missing messenger messages or the SMS texts.

No I don't pay and haven't seen any ads.

Strange, it should have transfered sms over. You might be able to find another app to do it.

As for messenger, not something I use so not sure

I'll maybe try with a cable as the smart switch didn't do it.

@bromley2110 some information on moving chats from iPhone to Android Device here ,some limitations with other Data https://faq.whatsapp.com/1295296267926284

When using Smartswitch App Transfer is problematic as indicated. Whilst the software will try to find equivalent apps will not always be successful. You will need to download a number of Apps afresh. Some information here https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-switch-from-ios/
