Yesterday in another practical video tutorial I showed you a simple way to create a backup of our SMS and call logs to be able to restore it in case of need in any Android terminal, now is the time to teach them how to restore all the applications that we have in our old Android to a new Android terminal.
It must be taken into account that by default, when synchronizing our Google account in our Android terminals, a default is performed Simple backup of all the applications that we have installed on our Android, as well as some data such as paired Bluetooth devices or even passwords Wifi 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 progress in games or passwords for social networks and instant messaging applications and so on. This will allow us, among other things, recover Play Store.
How to transfer apps from your old Android to your new one
The first thing we should do is check in the old Android that we have the backup option enabled, this depending on the version of Android you are on may vary a bit, although the most normal thing is that you find it within the option of backup and restore where you will see the option of copy my data that has to be in YES and Gmail account to which the backup is being performed. In addition to this you will see the option of Automatic restoration 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 that you want to use in the system, in this case Spanish from Spain and then it will ask us if we want configure it as a new terminal or copy our saved dataIn 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 like that of our house, place our Gmail account and password for it 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 left you at the beginning of the post, all our Android terminals logged in with the aforementioned associated Google account will be shown to us so that we can do restoration from which we please.
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 is normally already within the Android settings in an exclusive section under the name of Google but that in older terminals you will be able to find it directly in the application drawer as an application more installed on our Android.
Once the Google Services application is open we will go to the option of Configure Nearby Device, where by clicking on the option a screen will appear that says We begin where we will have to click on the button Next that is shown to us 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 own configuration of our new Android terminal where we can enable a security blocking method as in my case through the fingerprint or enable the Google assistant.
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 on our brand new Android terminal.
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 can see how easy it is to process of restoring applications installed on an old Android to a new Android.
