How to Transfer Apps and Data from Android to Android

How to Transfer Apps and Data
from Android to Android
When upgrading to a brand-new Android phone,
you will not only need to move contacts,
messages, photos, music, etc, but also to
download all of your favorite apps onto the new
device. You can always look at your old Android
phone then search the Google Play Store to
download and reinstall apps individually. But it
can be quite inconvenient and take a lot of time.

Actually, downloading Android apps onto a new
device doesn’t need to be so difficult. Here we’ll
introduce several ways to transfer apps from
Android to Android.
Titanium Backup
Google’s Copy Data Feature
Android App Transfer Tool
Titanium Backup
If you have root access on both your old and new
Android phones, you can take advantage of an
app like Titanium Backup. It can back up your
old Android phone apps and restore to the new
one.
1. Open Titanium Backup on your old Android
phone, tap the menu button and select “Batch”.
2. Choose “Backup all user apps + system data”
then the apps you want to move and tap “Run
the batch operation”. The selected apps will be
backed up to your phone’s root directly or SD
card in a Titanium Backup folder.
3. Transfer the backup folder to your new
Android phone, and make sure it goes into the
Titanium Backup folder.
4. Now open Titanium Backup on your new
Android phone, tap the menu button and select
“Batch”. Then choose “Restore all missing apps
+ system data” to restore the apps that aren’t on
the device.
Google’s Copy Data Feature
For those who are not rooted and running
Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google has developed a
solution to transfer apps between Android
devices. It requires that you have your two
devices registered with the same Google
account, and your old phone has been backing up
and syncing app data to Google’s cloud.
Option 1: Tap & Go
This option lets you connect Android devices
through NFC, and then copy apps and data over
Bluetooth. Just make sure both your old and new
Android phones have NFC enabled.
1. Select “Taps & Go” while setting up your new
Android phone. Then tap your two Android
devices together.
2. Authorize the Bluetooth data transfer from the
old Android phone and log into your Google
account on the new device.
3. Once you do, the transfer begins, and your
apps start downloading on the new Android
phone.
Option 2: Get Your Apps & Data
If your old Android phone doesn’t have NFC,
don’t worry, Google has improved the standard
copy data feature and gives you the choice to
restore apps and data directly to your new
Android phone.
1. While setting your new Android device, skip
the “Tap & Go” feature and set up your Google
account. You’ll be prompted to restore your new
phone with a backup from old one.
2. Select the old Android device you want to
restore from and choose which apps from that
device to install.
Android App Transfer Tool
While the methods above will transfer your apps
and data, they won’t move any of your stored
photos, videos or files. As a workaround, we
recommend you use Android App Transfer . It
enables you to transfer Android apps to new
phone and supports more than 2000 devices
from Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony, Moto, Google,
Huawei, etc. In addition to apps, other data like
contacts, messages, call history, calendar,
photos, videos, and music can be transferred
between Android devices in one click. Click here
