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.

Learn the basics : New to Android? 21

Quick access to settings:

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 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.

About your Google account

Benefits of your account

• Synchronize everything. Never lose your contacts. Associate them with your Google account if you create them on your phone, and view them from Gmail by signing into your Google account on any phone. Create emails or calendar events on your phone and view them on any computer. Access your browser bookmarks from any device.

• Store in the cloud. Upload your photos, videos, and music to the cloud; get to all of it without taking up space on your phone.

• Keep your stuff secure. Your account password secures it all and lets you access it from anywhere.

• Control how frequently your phone syncs your information.

About text and multimedia messages

Text messages - SMS

SMS (Short Message Service) messages contain text only. One text message can contain 160 characters; when you near the limit, a counter appears. If you type more, your message is sent in a series of SMS messages.

You can send one SMS message to multiple people, and replies are delivered in separate, not group, conversation threads (unless you and your recipients have group messaging enabled).

SMS messages are included in most carriers' text messaging plans and do not use cellular data.

Multimedia messages - MMS

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages can include unlimited text plus a photo, picture slideshow

You can send one MMS message to multiple people using group messaging, containing text only or text and media, and replies are delivered in group conversation threads to each person in the group.

MMS messages use cellular data and require a cellular data plan or pay-per-use payment.

Group messaging

Group messaging lets multiple people carry on a group conversation. All replies from recipients are delivered to all recipients, in a group conversation thread.

Though you send one message to multiple recipients, you are charged for each message received. Group messaging:

• Converts multiple-recipient SMS messages to MMS for all who can receive them

• Is available for MMS messages only

Note:

About the calendar

Keep track of upcoming events and get automatic reminders on your phone with your calendar. Google calendars let you save all your events in one place, which is secure, synced, and accessible from any web-enabled device or computer when you've signed in to your account.

You can:

• Review existing events.

• Create new events.

• Control notifications for events.

Your calendar can automatically create new events based on your incoming Gmail messages. For example, if you make restaurant reservations or book a flight, these events will show up automatically on your calendar; you don't have to add them.

If you created multiple calendars within your Google account, or if you have multiple Google accounts on your phone, you can control which events are synced with your phone.
