Universal backups between phones.

The question is if I were to take my iPhone copy all the data to my s21. Create an encrypted back up using smart switch.

Would I be able to use that back up when setting up my s22u that is arriving tomorrow.

The main reason is I feel like using smart switch to copy data over creates issues when copying from iPhone to Samsung. I want the quickest setup of the s22.

Otherwise I was going to do the smart switch copy iPhone data over to s22u. Create an encrypted backup up on my PC. Factory reset the s22u and restore the back up. That's what I had to do the first time I got this phone to work out battery issues and other bugs.

You can use Smart switch on PC or plug in between devices, where Smart switch on PC comes in handy is anytime you can restore it where Smart switch between devices it's more one time unless you saved it to USB storage stick on device. Smart switch on PC also saves photos so can do both ways if you like as a safety measure. And you can make multiple back ups with PC smart switch.

Smart switch on PC doesn't support iPhone.

I restore a s22u using a s21 backup?
