Transferring your data to your new phone can be a little intimidating, but it has gotten easier over the years. Even if you’re making the leap from Android to Apple or vice-versa, you should be able to transfer everything over smoothly.

If your new(ish) Orchard phone is an iPhone, Apple has some great tutorials:

• If your previous phone was an iPhone, see here. We definitely recommend using Quick Start if you can — your old phone and your new phone will interact and work together to copy your old data via Bluetooth. 

• If your previous phone was an Android, see here. You’ll need to download the Move to iOS app, and follow the manual set up steps. 

If your new(ish) Orchard phone is an Android phone and your previous phone is Android as well, backing everything up to your Google account is probably your best bet. But if you’re switching from Apple to Android, no worries! We’d recommend following these steps from Google, or using Smart Switch with a Samsung phone.

Keep in mind that while transferring your data, your phone is working overtime. This will cause the battery to drain much faster than during regular use. For more information, please see this FAQ article.
