Not sure what I'm missing here, I've been and Android user since it began and I still can't seem to fathom as to why switching phones is so awful and lengthy.
Why is it that when I swtich from 1 handset to another I essentially have to re-login, re-enable or re-authenticate literally every app that I use. (banking apps I get btw :))
I use Google One for handset backups, Google Authenticator and store all my login details in Google's Password manager yet it only seems to restore the apps I used, messages and calls.

Its doesn't carry across logins, notification settings (I turn app notifications off mostly), game backups, Android Auto config, music downloads etc etc...so whats the point of these backups for switching?

Seem this is one area where iOS have Android beat hands down (still not swtiching though :cry:) but as I like to change my phone every 12 months or so I dread the task....

Am I doing it wrong?
