I am trying to some sort of adapter or cable to connect my iPhone 7 lightening cable to my S22 Ultra's cable so I can by the correct adapter or connector or whatever it is called. I need it to transfer all compatible data from my iPhone 7 to my brand new s22 ultra through Samsung's Smart Switch. I have wirelessly transferred some through my icloud, but there's a lot of stuff that can't be transferred wirelessly.
I am not having much luck.
Any help and/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Eliminating an adapter seems smart. So why do you think they suggest using an adapter? Does an adapter exist? Is one faster than the other?
I hope it transfers quickly because my iPhone's battery doesn't last long. Do you know if you have to stop a transfer because your battery died, would you have to restart the transfer all over again?
I don't know anything about phones that are not iPhones.
Do I need to take out my SIM card before I transfer everything? Right now my iPhone is still active. Is there any things that I should do first?
I saw a lot of comments complaining about the recent update, should I be worried?
Thank you so much @LongHiker , I really appreciate the your help.
@NC4 Samsung's Smart switch does a great job of transferring information from your old phone to the new phone. I've never used it with an iPhone but I would expect your crucial info to be transferred.
An adapter is suggested since many people already have the 2 cables and simply need a device to connect the 2. There is no noticeable file transfer speed difference between adapter or single cable.
If a transfer is stopped part way through the process, you would need to restart it. An alternative might be to select custom from the Smart Switch options and only do a partial transfer. Then on your next transfer select items which weren't selected before. Continue until you get all the items transferred.
You need to go into iMessage settings and turn off iMessage. If you don't, you won't get any messages on your new phone.
My process is to move the SIM card from the old phone to the new phone. Then do the file transfer using Smart Switch. This will ensure that all text messages which come in during the transfer go to the new phone.
