I switch phones once a week — here’s how I manage the chaos

I don’t have laborious knowledge on this, however most individuals in all probability rank switching to a brand new cellphone someplace round “dental cleansing” and “journey to the DMV.” A number of years in the past, I felt that means, too. Dozens of cellphone opinions later, switching units has turn into simply as routine as taking out the recycling each week.

Certain, generally issues get mucked up and I’ve to tag in my wi-fi service (thanks a bunch, eSIM), however I’m dwelling proof that it’s doable to modify to a wholly new cellphone each week with out struggling any critical emotional or social penalties. And you’ll, too! I promise it’s not as painful because it appears.

I’m dwelling proof that you may swap to a brand new cellphone each week with out struggling any critical emotional or social penalties

Most individuals will in all probability load a cloud backup from an outdated machine when establishing a brand new cellphone, which is by far the best method to go about this if you happen to can. However perhaps you’re doing one thing extra formidable, like switching between iOS and Android, otherwise you simply need a contemporary begin on a brand new cellphone.

Right here’s how I handle the chaos, together with the very first issues I do on each new cellphone. Hopefully you’ll discover some suggestions to assist easy out the method the following time you turn or, on the very least, a little bit encouragement to tackle the journey.

The very first thing I do is flip off RCS or iMessage on the outdated cellphone. I can’t stress sufficient how essential this step is. It’s not essential when switching iPhone to iPhone or Android to Android, however if you happen to’re going from one platform to the opposite, you’ll be in a world of harm if you happen to overlook this step. Ask me how I do know.

You may also have to port your two-factor authentication tokens from the outdated machine earlier than you reset it. Google Authenticator now allows you to use cloud backup to keep away from this step, although it’s rather less safe in concept.

You’ll additionally need to be certain your contacts are synced along with your Google or iCloud account earlier than switching — first-party apps like Change to iOS and Samsung Sensible Change are useful right here. You possibly can switch pictures, too, if you happen to hold these in your machine relatively than within the cloud, however personally, I take means too many pictures to switch all of them each time. I again up my keepers to Google Photographs, which is straightforward to do on each the iPhone and Android and makes switching between the platforms so much simpler.

Syncing contacts is pretty easy, however your message historical past is one other factor. You possibly can transfer SMS texts between platforms with these first-party switching apps, and chats on iMessage or RCS might be simply ported to a brand new machine on the identical platform. However RCS and iMessage don’t combine, so you may’t simply convey these dialog threads to your new machine.

Personally, I simply let all of them go and begin a brand new dialog on every new machine. That’s not for everybody, and it’s one of many greatest pitfalls to contemplate if you happen to’re interested by switching platforms.

With all that out of the best way, I pop in that good ol’ SIM card… until I’m utilizing an eSIM-only iPhone 14. In that case, I weep gently throughout my drive to the closest Verizon retailer, the place I ask a form gross sales consultant to present me a bodily SIM card.

Switching telephones on eSIM is difficult at finest, and it flat-out received’t work if I’m altering to a cellphone that isn’t on sale but. (A state of affairs that’s admittedly distinctive to my circumstances.) Thus, the swap again to a bodily SIM and the journey to the shop. I’ve tried ordering a SIM and doing this myself. I’ve tried doing it over assist chat and by cellphone. It not often goes properly.

Have you ever met my bestie, 1Password? It’s the primary app I obtain on each new cellphone. The random passwords it generates are far more safe than something I may suppose up, and it’s a lifesaver having it multi function place. Even if you happen to don’t change telephones ceaselessly, I extremely encourage you to make use of a password supervisor.

With that performed, I obtain a handful of must-have apps (shoutout to Strava and Starbucks) and verify for app updates by smashing that “Replace all” button within the App Retailer or Play Retailer. The overwhelming majority of the apps I take advantage of often are free and out there throughout each platforms. In very uncommon instances, I’ve paid for an app twice to have it on each Android and iOS. That stinks, however truthfully, having my beloved Pocket Metropolis 2 out there on all of the units I take advantage of is completely price 10 bucks.

Lastly, I head to the settings menu to verify for a software program replace (and a Google Play framework replace on Android telephones). This isn’t simply cellphone reviewer stuff; it’s good tech hygiene if you arrange a brand new machine.

These are the necessities. Right here’s a brief record, in no specific order, of different preferences I arrange on new units:

  • Activate the battery share within the standing bar as a result of I crave this info all the time.
  • Max out the show and efficiency settings. Some telephones don’t activate the display’s highest refresh price by default, and if you happen to paid for a cellphone with a 120Hz display, by god, you need to be capable of use it.
  • Max out the display timeout. Who desires to maintain waking up the display whilst you’re following a recipe?
  • Activate the always-on show if it’s out there.

Switching to a brand new machine or OS can appear daunting if you’re so snug along with your outdated one, and I’ve had my share of uncomfortable moments making a swap to a brand new cellphone. You should use the instruments that cellphone producers embrace that can assist you port over all of your outdated apps and preferences, however even if you happen to don’t, I promise that making a swap to a brand new machine isn’t as terrible because it appears. Simply belief me on the password supervisor factor.
