If yesterday in another practical video tutorial I showed you a simple way to create a backup of our SMS and call log to be able to restore it in case of need in any Android terminal, now is the time to teach you how to restore all the applications that we have in our old Android to a new Android terminal.
It must be borne in mind that by default when synchronizing our Google account on our Android terminals, a simple backup is made by default of all the applications that we have installed on our Android, as well as some data such as paired Bluetooth devices or even Wifi passwords of the networks to which we have connected. When I refer to a simple backup of all the applications that we have installed on our Android, I mean that these will be restored without saving data such as game progress or passwords for social networks and instant messaging applications and others. This will allow us, among other things, to recover the Play Store.
How to transfer apps from your old Android to your new one
The first thing we must do is check in the old Android that we have the backup option enabled, this depending on the version of Android in which you are may vary a bit, although the most normal thing is that you find it within the option of backup and restoration where you will see the option to copy my data that has to be in YES and the Gmail account in which the backup is being made. In addition to this, you will see the Automatic Restore option that you must have enabled.
Once this has been verified, you can turn on your new Android terminal for the first time, select the default language you want to use in the system, in this case, Spanish from Spain and then it will ask us if we want to configure it as a new terminal or copy our saved data In this case that we are dealing with today, we will select the option to copy our data.
The next step will be to connect to a secure Wi-Fi network such as our home, place our Gmail account and password, and then it will give us three options to select:
- Backup an Android phone.
- Gmail cloud backup.
- Copy from an iPhone.
In this case, we are going to perform the restoration from an old Android terminal so you can select option 1 or option 2 with the big difference that from option 1 which is the one that I show you in the attached video that I have left you at At the beginning of the post, we will be shown all our Android terminals logged in with the aforementioned associated Google account so that we can do the restoration from whichever we want.
So we select option number 1 and if both terminals that we want to transfer their installed applications have an NFC connection, it is as easy as putting their backs together so that the automatic restoration of the applications becomes effective.
If, as it happens to me in the video, it is the case that in one of the terminals or in both we lack the NFC connection, we will have to open the Google Services or Google Services application on the old phone, an app that normally already It is found within the Android settings in an exclusive section under the name of Google but in older terminals, you will be able to find it directly in the application drawer as one more application installed on our Android.
Once the Google Services application is open we will go to the option of Configure nearby device, whereby clicking on the option a screen will appear that says Let’s get started where we will have to click on the Next button that is shown in the lower right part of the screen of our old Android.
Clicking on the Next button will show us looking for nearby devices where we will simply have to select the name of our new device to configure and confirm the verification code that is identical in both terminals.
Once this is done from the old Android terminal, we can put it aside and finish the configuration of our new Android terminal where we can enable a security blocking method as in my case through the fingerprint or enable the assistant of Google.
Once all this is done, we will be shown the applications that are going to be restored on our new phone, giving us the option to restore all or options to select, mark and unmark the applications that we want to install and those that we do not want to install in our brand new terminal. Android.
If you are going to carry out this process for the first time, I advise you to watch the video that I have left you at the beginning of this article since in this way you will be able to see how easy it is to restore the applications installed on an old Android to a new Android.
