Google is making switching to new Galaxy phone even easier

When you switch to new Galaxy phone, apps will be logged in automatically

Google has announced that it has developed a new feature called Restore Credentials for Android devices. This feature makes the process of switching from one phone to another easier by making sure that you don't have to log into each app manually on your new phone.

When you sign into an app, your Android phone stores something called a Restore Key in the Restore Credentials section. Restore Key authenticates your identity. It is encrypted and stored locally on your phone or tablet. If you have cloud backup enabled, the Restore Key is synced to your account.

When you buy a new phone or switch to another device, you get the option of restoring your data from your cloud backup. When the restoring process starts, apps (and games) and their Restore Keys are automatically downloaded from the cloud to your device.

Once you open an app, it will find its Restore Key, log into your account, and have all your personal data ready. So, you can now use your app or game without a need to login to its account manually.

However, app and game developers need to implement Restore Keys in their apps and games.

Android phones can now initiate data restoration from cloud backup anytime

Another new feature that Google is adding to Android is the ability to initiate a data restore process anytime you want. This is made possible through the Android Switch app (and experience).

When you buy a new phone, you usually need to log into your account and initiate a restore process from the cloud. If you don't begin a data restore process, you can't restore your data that is backed up in your Google account. However, with the new feature, you can initiate the data restoration process anytime you want.

For example, if you want to check out your phone first, you can do that by skipping the data restoration process and then come back to it when you are ready.
