Google Data Migration Tool Upgrade: Switching to a New Android Phone Just Got Easier
The faster the transition, the “Multi-Transport-D2D-Transport” protocol is utilized, which relies on both Wi-Fi and wired connections simultaneously. This means a huge amount of data transfer will take minutes instead of hours.
On the other hand, a few issues should be kept in mind. “Restore Anytime” is based on the previously used devices that can only be used for transferring data, and the customized settings on the new phone will not be updated during the migration.
