5 Most Important Steps to Take After Buying a New Smartphone

You switched from a 4G phone to a 5G phone and aren't sure how to set it up? In today's post, we'll talk about five things to do after buying a new smartphone. But before we start, let's talk about some of the basics of setting up a new Android phone for the first time.

Use a Google account to sign in.

Android is great because it gives you access to thousands of apps and games. You need a Google account to sign in to the Play Store and get to these mobile apps. So, the first thing to do is to set up a Gmail ID. You can set up a Google account in three ways.

How to set up a new phone?

Now that you are logged in, here are the top 5 things to do with your new smartphone:

Give people your contacts and media

Follow these steps to move your contacts and media from an old Android phone to a new one.

  • Give both devices a charge

  • Join a wireless network

  • Use the same Google account to sign in on both phones

  • On the old computer

- On the old phone, turn on contact sync.

- Set up the old phone to sync with Google Photos.

- Set up the old phone to sync with Google Drive.

- Go to the settings for WhatsApp and back up your most recent chats and media.

Open Chrome and turn on syncing for your bookmarks, tabs, and passwords.

  • On the new computer

- Contacts, Chrome, Google Photos, and Google Drive will all sync automatically.

- To sync cloud backups from Google Drive with third-party apps like Whats App, log in with your phone number.

Allow protection of privacy

Use face unlock, pattern unlocks, or PIN unlocks on your phone's lock screen to keep other people from using it without your permission. You can find these settings in the System Settings > Privacy and Security menu. Second, set up a way to recover your data so that you don't lose it. This way, you can sync apps and data between devices.

Download both old and new apps

Your new Android phone already has the Google Play Store on it. Just open the Play Store app and start downloading the apps and games you like. If you switched from an older Android phone, you can find the apps you used to use on your new phone in the profile section. The phone will also ask you to update any apps that came with it to the most recent version.

Set up your smartphone accessories

If you bought a pair of wireless earbuds along with your new phone, you can pair them by going to System Settings > Bluetooth Settings. From the notification panel, you can quickly get to the Bluetooth settings. Drag your finger down from the top of the home screen or menu screen to do this.

Set up notifications

Getting notifications is both the best and worst thing about having a smartphone. Notifications are sound alerts that let you know when you have a new message or social update. But notifications can quickly get annoying if too many apps send you updates that you don't trust. So, go to System Settings > Applications to choose which apps can send notifications.

Start your smartphone journey

Whether you just got your first smartphone or you've been using Android for years, a new one always means new things. Now that your phone is set up, it's time to turn it on, chat with friends, update your social media, and play some fun online games with your friends.
