Data Migration to new phone questions

[theshaz]

My S22 Ultra arrives tomorrow, upgrading from a Note 10+ so I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Last few notes I have used the Sammy tool to migrate my data over, I know that when you log in with your Google account it will try to install all the apps you had before.

QUESTIONS:

1. Can I pick a choose which apps get installed?
2. I have my pictures from my 5 previous Notes spread all over the place. Any ideas how to consolidate?
3. Is it better to use the Sammy tool or go totally clean and manually install the apps you really use?

Thanks in advance

1. Yes. Smart switch allows you to choose which apps to install, and so does the Google account restore.

2. Copy everything to the Note 10+ before syncing with your S22U.

3. It's up to you. I have a lot of customization that I don't look forward to redoing, so I use Smart Switch for whatever I can, including settings. That said, this last time it seemed to not copy over all the settings like it used to. If you feel you messed up your last phone in any way, then starting afresh with settings would be my recommendation.
