If you had an iPhone

Welcome to Android! Here are some differences between your old iPhone and your new phone.

Your assistant: You've retired Siri. Now, find info and get things done with Google Assistant. Just set up “OK, Google”. Then ask for info or help with everyday tasks.

Apps:

• Goodbye Apple App Store, hello Google Play Store. Play Store is now your default app store. Apps aren't compatible between iPhone and Android. However, many developers make iPhone and Android versions of their apps; if the app stores your data online, then you can switch with little effort. Just download the Android version from Play Store and log in.
• Keep on making video calls. Use the Meet app to make video calls with friends who have iPhones or Android phones.
• Continue listening to podcasts. You can listen with the Podcasts app. Or, there are lots of podcast apps on Play Store - search for “podcast” in Play Store and download one of your choice.
• Install apps remotely. On a computer, visit play.google.com. Browse apps on the bigger screen and then install them on your phone from your computer.

Your home screen: Your old phone showed all apps on your home screen. With your new phone, you can put shortcuts to your most important apps on your home screen for easy access. This frees up room on your home screen for widgets, making your new home much more lively.

In the cloud: Your Google account is your key to cloud storage with Google. If you migrated your contacts to your phone, then you can see them from any device or computer by logging into Gmail. Your Google account includes apps like Calendar and Drive that let you work well with others. And it has apps that let you play too - access your photos, videos, music from any device when you log in with your Google account. Use Play Music to upload your iTunes library.
