that network connection instead of your carrier's network, saving your cellular data for when you

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 Duo app to make video calls with friends who have
iPhones or Android phones.
•Continue listening to podcasts. You can listen with the Play Music 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:
•On your old iPhone, your home screen was far left. Now, you start with one home screen
and can add more pages to the right as needed.
•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. Or, find your
full list by swiping up from your favorites tray. This frees up room on your home screen for
widgets, making your new home much more lively.
•In addition to apps, Android has widgets that stream information to you. For example,
widgets can provide weather updates or upcoming calendar events.
•Like your old iPhone, you'll see notifications at the top of the screen, which you can swipe
down to review. But on your new phone, you can swipe them left or right to dismiss them.
Quick access to settings: On your old iPhone, to adjust settings you opened a Settings app.
You can still do that. But now you've also got quick settings. Swipe down from the top of the
screen for easy access to toggles for airplane mode, Wi-Fi, and other frequently-used settings.
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
