How to move data from an old phone to a new one

Bought a new smartphone? The main fear is losing photos and contacts. Here is what you can move in about 10 minutes, what takes longer, and how to do it without cables or cloud.

· Android → iPhone: Chrome → QR → Safari.

Needs extra steps

Apps must be reinstalled from stores. WhatsApp, Telegram and others have their own chat migration. Banking and work apps are activated separately.

Pre-transfer checklist

Charge both phones to ~80%. Use one Wi-Fi network. On iPhone, ensure iCloud Photos downloaded originals. Free space on the new phone.
