connect your old phone to a PC with a cable the files might not have transfered because they were a separate folder and not inside the pictures folder.

The video and image files aren't supported on the new phone but they worked on the old phone.

This happened to me when I went from iphone to galaxy.

On your old phone, convert videos to h264 (MP4) and images to png/jpeg

If you require uncompressed files then you'll need to spend sometime with Google and trying different apps out

Depending on how big the folder/file is, files over 2gb might not transfer. I used a file compression app , transferred the files to a usb flash drive and transferred them with an OTG cable. It was tedious, but it was worth it.

What if you don't have the old phone? My SG21 FE stopped working but I did a backup and transferred photos and videos to my new SG21 FE. I can't find half the photos and videos now. Any suggestions?
