This never once worked for me with app data. I always have to set up apps from scratch.

I just went from Pixel to Motorola and this has worked surprisingly well. Even for apps that I install manually.

That said, if I don't use the old phone to pull "the data" Google will not transfer more important things (Wi-Fis), settings etc.

What is app data? I guess maybe everything I use is already in the cloud anyway, so I never noticed that?

Whenever I switch android phones, I need to setup each app from scratch, unless is a google app.

What do you mean "set up"? Like when I get a new phone, my previous apps just reinstall themselves. I might have to log back in, but that only takes a sec with a password manager.

Does it not work like that for you?

I've only gone from Nexus to Pixel to Pixel though (all Google phones) so maybe that's why?

		Configure all the apps as they were before. Is like a new phone besides contacts/mails/photos, the rest (besides the pre-installation) is like I never used the apps on the phone. From having to login to having to re-configure everything.
