Smart Switch: Transfer data, take backup or migrate to new Samsung device
Samsung Smart Switch App allows you to transfer data easily from one mobile device to another. Smart Switch gives you the freedom to move your contacts, music, photos, calendar, text messages, device settings, and more to your new Galaxy device. In addition, Smart Switch helps you find your favorite apps or suggest similar ones on Google Play.
There are two forms of Smart Switch: the PC version (Smart Switch) and the device version (Smart Switch Mobile). Even if your old phone is not a Galaxy device, transferring data to a new Galaxy phone via USB Cable, Wi-Fi or computer is done in a flash.
When transferring via Wi-Fi, you need to download the Smart Switch app, and when connecting via USB Cable, you only need the USB connector included with Galaxy phones.
From contact info to messages, from your photos and videos to your music library, your calendar events to your favorite apps, and even your mobile setting preferences, with Smart Switch, you can pick up exactly where you last left off.

WhatsApp has released a fresh beta update with version 2.24.25.29, which brings a reminder notification feature for unread chat messages. This new beta update is available for Android via the Google Play Beta Program.
Previously, WhatsApp only sent reminders for status updates from specific contacts, mainly those you interact with the most. With the new update, WhatsApp is expanding this feature to remind you about unread chat messages from your most frequent contacts.
These reminders are sent for messages from people you chat with the most. If you leave a message unread, WhatsApp will notify you to make sure you don’t forget to reply.
Notably, the app uses an internal algorithm to choose these contacts based on how often you interact with them. However, if you reinstall the app, this data will be reset, as it’s not saved in backups or on WhatsApp’s servers.
Once this feature is activated, WhatsApp will remind you about any unread messages from important contacts. WhatsApp also makes sure the reminders are relevant and helpful without being annoying.
This feature is currently available to limited beta testers who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp Beta for Android. WhatsApp also plans to roll it out to more users.
WhatsApp adds floating button and gestures for faster group voice chats
