Samsung Smart Switch does not transfer apps.

[Zezera]

I'm switching from a Galaxy S7 to a Galaxy S10 Plus. I've backuped everything from the S7 using the Samsung Smart Switch. But when I restore that backup to the new S10 Plus, even receiving the message that everything went good, there is no single app at all that was restored from the backup.

I appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

I’ve been trying to do the same thing, but direct and wireless. From a note 10+ to S21+… smart switch THINKS it’s done the all transfer, but only about 1/4 of the apps come over, no Home Screen setups, actually no home screens at all, and of course no passwords or app settings come over at all. Any thoughts?

Hi, through PC Smart switch?

Thanks. I ended up trying it a third time but with a USB C cable connection.. same things popped up to copy, all were checked and everything came across except Home Screen backgrounds. So, after having tried it wirelessly three times prior, using a direct cable connection seems to have allowed it to work properly.

Ok great !

Try making backup now with smart switch on pc , you can restore back up anytime not just when you first get a phone to transfer or factory reset.
