How to Transfer All Data to Samsung Galaxy A16 5G (Pictures, Videos, Text Messages) From Home

in the video today I want to show you how to transfer all your data pictures contacts videos everything from your old phone to the new Samsung Galaxy a16 let's get into it all right guys so the process is really easy to do this uh all you'll need is your old phone turned on powered on and your new phone powered on as well on the Samsung a16 we're simply going to swipe down from the top of the screen in the upper right corner tap on the settings wheel from here we're going to go up to General management right here swipe up and at the very bottom it'll say transfer data for device setup so once we've got into this screen we're going to hit receive data and we're so we're transferring from an Android phone so we're going to select Galaxy Android now if you were trying to switch from an iPhone you would obviously select iPhone or iPad let's tap Galaxy Android and you have two options you can do this with a cable or you can do this Wireless now um the cable method is faster but the wireless method works just as well the main thing you need to know is you need to be able to keep the phones together for however long it takes for the transfer to happen so if you separate the phones it's going to stop the transfer so if you're at the store if you're at a store right now trying to do this take the phones home and then just watch the rest of the video because if not you're going to risk the phone SE separating it's going to stop the transfer the have to start over again so just you know follow my instructions there okay on the old phone you'll want to go to the Play Store and you need to do a search for the Samsung Smart Switch Mobile app download this app on your phone and then open it up now now that we have the app installed on the new phone I'm going to hit receive data Galaxy Wireless and on the old phone I'm going to Select Wireless and give it a few seconds and the phones are going to find each other they're basically sending each other a signal to connect to tap accept so now the a16 is reading all the files on this old phone and then it's going to see what it can pull over so it's got 10 gigs of data that it's showing and it's saying it'll take about 8 minutes to pull all that data so we're going to hit next and now the transfer has started and it will give you a countdown now this countdown is an estimate so it says 8 minutes but I've seen it fluctuate higher or lower so just keep that in mind one important thing to note you need to make sure that your phone is charged well you never want to do this transfer if your phone is below 30% because what if the phone dies right in the middle of the transfer that can affect your data so make sure grab your charger and plug it in so that you won't have to worry about uh the phone dying right in the middle of the transfer okay keep the phones together don't touch them don't do anything just let them transfer and you'll see what it looks like at the end it'll say transfer is complete and then you can move on okay so that was a quick snapshot on how to do the process wirelessly for those of you that want to use the cable which is the faster method here's how to do it let's go ahead and close out these two apps here and we're just going to start over start the whole process over again so we're going to open up that Samsung Smart Switch app okay swipe down again go to the settings wheel swipe up go to General management swipe up go back to transfer data on the other phone simply find the Smart Switch app okay so now to use the cable we're going to hit receive data on the a16 hit Galaxy and then on the old phone hit let's go hit cable so cable on both let's plug in our cable from from the box okay and just give them a couple of seconds to connect if you notice that these screens are looping and it seems like the connection hasn't been made simply disconnect the cables and just switch put this one on the other side here we go there we go go all right press okay hit continue and now it'll give you the same options now because I started the transfer wirelessly it just picked up where I left off but it'll it'll end up giving you the same options on screen it'll let you select what you want to transfer and then you'll hit start okay so at this point let the phone sit let them go through the process and when the the transfer is complete this is what you'll see on screen it'll basically say the transfer is done you disconnect the cables and then you can begin to use the phones all right hope you guys value out of that video if you did bump that like button down
