Smart Switch: How to transfer content from an iPhone to your new Galaxy device

If you've just purchased a brand new Galaxy smartphone, you might be wondering about all the content still stored on your old phone.
The Samsung Smart Switch app allows you to securely move all your data to your new Galaxy device.
Here's how:
The wired method:
00:39 - You will need a USB-C to Lighting cable, or a USB-A to Lightning cable paired with an OTG adaptor.
00:49 - Begin by launching the Smart Switch app.
00:53 - When prompted, select that you wish to receive data.
00:56 - Then tap iPhone/iPad.
00:59 - You'll now be asked to connect your devices. Plug the Lightning end of the cable into your iPhone and, using the OTG adaptor if needed, plug the other end into your new Galaxy device.
01:13 - You may see a message on your old device requiring you to approve permissions. To move forward, click Trust.
01:22 - The Smart Switch app will look for content it can transfer. Once ready, select the data you'd like to move to your new device.
01:43 - Tap the transfer data to complete the process. Once finished, you'll see a notification confirming the process.
The wireless method:
02:00 - First, ensure your iPhone is backed up to iCloud.
02:26 - On your Galaxy device, launch the Smart Switch app.
02:30 - Select Receive data and choose iPhone/iPad.
02:35 - At the bottom of the screen select Get data from iCloud instead.
02:40 - You will be prompted to sign into your Apple account. You can then choose the data you wish to transfer and begin the process.

I'm an iPhone user, but I'm fed up with the iPhone and have become a user of the Samsung Note 20 Ultra. But I have a lot of WhatsApp updates left in the iPhone. Tell me how to transfer the same data from iPhone to this New Samsung Mobile? Help me please...

[@karlbriancruzrce5997]

I think Whatsapp message updates will actually update when the sender went back online after you reinstalled Whatsapp on the same or another device. This does happen to me when I reinstall Whatsapp (on the same phone, though; but I guess it applies as well to your case).

[@housemusic198]

that's cool but how can you to do this if your old device has a broken screen and can't even see anything??

[@dns15r]

It takes 15 hours to transfer from my 512gb iphone, which is more than the battery the Samsung has for, and my charging port is occupied, what do I do?

[@gavin9037]

you have a bigger problem if you have that much space occupied

[@lennjuno3845]

[@xEvelyn13]

If I use the cable-method on the Smart Switch-app, do I still need to have an iCloud backup for images, videos, Whatsapp etc. ??

[@appleopera]

how do you transfer all the signed accounts from your old Samsung phone to a new one? you know in settings there an option called "accounts" The option does show in the smart switch but it doesn't transfer any accounts except Samsung and google, that too you have to end the credentials so whats the point of giving an option of accounts to transfer

[@sarahorbin7694]

My concern is moving my music over

[@fieb7840]

[@gao1812]
