Just bought a new pixel 4 xl. Previous iPhone user.

2 Main issues so far

1. What's the equivalent of iPhone's face ID ? I understand not all apps are face ID enabled. But is there a way to auto populate the passwords with face ID ? Right now if in-store the passwords using google it automatically populates all my apps without any face ID check. I checked a few password apps and they are all paid apps
Google itself doesn't have anything that does this?? Populate passwords after face ID authentication

2. No easy way to transfer WhatsApp from iPhone without buying some software like phonetrans. My iPhone WhatsApp is backed up on iCloud and I've no way of restoring that on pixel

Thanks on advance.
 
I use lastpass to auto populate passwords. But there's other apps that are similar... Maybe better?
 
I use Bitwarden. It also uses face unlock. You go into settings and type auto fill into the search bar. Click on auto fill, select bitwarden as default auto fill app. Then it will auto populate for you.

There is no easy way to move WhatsApp from iPhone to android and vice versa. It is a limitation of WhatsApp.
 
Does iPhone WhatsApp allow you to create a backup? Is it possible to save it to Google drive and then import the backup to your new phone?

iPhone only backs up to iCloud. I couldn't find a way to move the WhatsApp backup to google drive. It sucks.
