what's going on guys your average consumer and if you've been a subscriber since about may have earlier this year you might have seen a video of my way I switch from an iPhone over to the Galaxy s8 enough to weren't making it my daily driver boom it's in there I gotta admit guys I'm nervous and while I had a ton of success with that I did run into some issues due to some things I overlooked so for today's video I want to show you guys some of the best and easiest things to do if you want to make the same switch and huge shout out to Samsung and Google for the paid partnership but let's take a look at how to make that switch so the first thing you're gonna want to do is remove your phone number from your iMessage and Apple ID I didn't do this when I first switched and it caused me a lot of issues so you're definitely gonna want to do that and this is especially important if you happen to be in a group chat with a bunch of other iMessage users once you disassociate your number you're gonna be able to have that same group when you get to your new phone now another thing you're gonna want to keep in mind are your photos I know a lot of people are probably fearful of switching to another device because they feel like they'll lose all their photos and memories but there's an easy solution for that and that's with downloading Google photos alright guys so this right here is a must so this is Google Photos I always make sure that I have Google photos up and syncing all the photos that I take so that whenever I'm back on my note 8 I have access to all the photos that I took so you can see everything is just right here and I've got a ton of my photos here it even dates back to like 2013 look at young Airy look at you so with that there's really no need to worry all the photos that were on my iPhone are now on my know date and of course photos and videos aren't the only things we keep on our phone so if you're worried about your files and documents you can also use Google Drive to keep everything all in one place and not only is it great to have Google Drive on your phone for making the switch but you can access it on any computer as well so any documents or anything important that you want to keep in your Google Drive you can access on your computer and one app that I'm low-key in love with is Google Play Music now with this I was able to take my entire iTunes library and import it into google play music and what's awesome about that is being able to access my entire library from anywhere my new device my computer that is super clutch and not to mention the note it does have expandable storage so if you ever need to take things from your computer and throw it onto your phone that makes that process a lot easier and if you just straight-up need more space boom you got that as well now another thing that iPhone you just tend to worry about is the loss of face time I personally used it a lot to talk to Arry and even my mom but there is a solution and that's Google duo even though Eric isn't using an Android phone right now I can still video chat her in a heartbeat using google duo so all I got to do is head on over to duo press that hit re and just like that I'm ready to get into a video chat with her oh it's cookie oh so cookie she's like why are you disturbing me right now nope she's like let me nap oh that that's fine you guys got to see for yourself how quick and easy it was cookies not about that life though give her a treat so yeah that got her attention so with keeping all of that in mind when you're switching from an iPhone over to something like the Galaxy Note 8 you don't have to worry about losing everything and not to mention you also get some really great hardware you've got that amazing Super AMOLED display that makes watching everything very enjoyable I think honestly everyone knows that those are one of the best screens on the market not to mention you've got that awesome camera for taking sharp and vibrant photos now there's absolutely no reason to be surprised at the quality of this camera because Samsung kind of kills that when it comes to cameras in terms of the selfie camera I'm pretty impressed as well as the s-pen I personally don't use the s-pen like crazy but it is super convenient when I get a document that I need to sign online makes my life a lot easier to just have it they're always ready to go and I feel like Google is created in the ecosystem of apps that make it really easy to switch between devices and even access all of your information that's on your phone right on a computer and even if you're someone who's not looking to make some kind of switch I feel like having these apps is very useful so that you can have your stuff backed up and accessible whenever you want and with it being so easy to switch back and forth it makes my life a lot easier to be able to jump right back to my no date even after testing other devices so if you're feeling uneasy or you're worried about missing some things when you make the switch just be sure to follow the things that I said in this video get those apps and if you have any questions be sure to leave a comment down below I'll try to answer any questions you guys might have but that about wraps it up for this video again huge shout out to Samsung and Google for the paid partnership and I'll catch you guys in the next one until then it's your average consumer base
