What settings must be re-created when switching to a new system?
New systems rarely reproduce every old phone setting. Ringtones, notification preferences, launcher layout, app permissions, Focus/Routines, and defaults may need manual recreation.
What to do
- Screenshot important settings on the old phone.
- Set up defaults, alerts, accessibility, and privacy on the new device.
- Revisit saved screenshots after one week.
