Still Deciding? Move Your Stuff

Do I need to sign in to apps again when moving to another phone?

You should expect to sign back in to at least some apps after switching phone platforms. Passwords, passkeys, and authenticator data do not always copy with general transfer tools.

What to do

  1. Confirm access to recovery email/phone.
  2. Sync or export passwords through supported methods.
  3. Test sign-in to financial and communication apps before wiping the old device.
