If you had an iPhone
Welcome to Android! Here are some differences between your old iPhone and your new phone.
Your assistant: You've retired Siri. Now, find info and get things done with Google Assistant. Just set up
“OK, Google”. Then ask for info or help with everyday tasks.
Apps:
•
Goodbye Apple App Store, hello Google Go Play Store. Play Store is now your default app store. Apps
aren't compatible between iPhone and Android. However, many developers make iPhone and Android
versions of their apps; if the app stores your data online, then you can switch with little effort. Just
download the Android version from Play Store and log in.
•
Continue listening to podcasts. There are lots of podcast apps on Play Store - search for “podcast” in
Play Store and download one of your choice.
•
Install apps remotely. On a computer, visit play.google.com. Browse apps on the bigger screen and then
install them on your phone from your computer.
Your home screen: Your old phone defaulted to show all apps on your home screen. With your new phone,
you can put shortcuts to your most important apps on your customizable home screen for easy access. This
frees up room on your home screen for widgets, making your new home much more lively.
In the cloud: Your Google Go account is your key to cloud storage with Google. If you migrated your
contacts to your phone, then you can see them from any device or computer by logging into Gmail. Your
Google Go account includes apps like Calendar and Drive that let you work well with others. And it has apps
that let you play too - access your photos, videos, music from any device when you log in with your Google
Go account. Use YT Music to upload your iTunes library. For help signing in to your account, read Google's
support information.
File sharing: If you used AirDrop on your iPhone, now you'll use Quick Share to easily share files or links
with friends.
