I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?

    Regarding Applist, does this copy the app’s data?

    I have a game on a phone I’d like to copy to a tablet so progress is not lost. App is in both devices already. Would that work?

    Sorry for piggybacking on OP.

      Sadly it doesn’t 🥲. Copying app data is the hardest part of the process without a system level backup like seedvault, neobackup or traditional google backup services.
