Step 1: Download the app from the play store from here on both devices.
Step 2: Open the app on both devices ( the sending and receiving devices ).
Step 3: Click I’m a sender on the sending device and I’m a recipient on the receiving device. Make sure you have enough storage on your sending device as the app needs to create a local backup on the device.
Step 4: Scan the QR code on the sending device with the receiving device to connect both phones.
Step 5: Select the apps, contact, media files, note, and other information you would like to transfer to your new device. After selection, tap on send.
