it was/is my understanding that all messages in Google (those you haven't deleted) will, over time, populate on the new phone. (Google is not known for its blazing speed in this regard)

That's how it has worked for me!
I just leave it alone & let it complete. It's not instant by any means ....

yes. obviously, I could be wrong. perhaps things have changed. I've had all messages populate via Google Messages, though that was a couple of years ago.

so, at some point in the future, populate after the xfer, now that's some real magic!!

A sad day (at least for me)

Guess it was going to happen at some point so I'm now trying to decide between these two...

I also use their Calendar and Gallery app.
