Transferring Photos From iPhone to Google Pixel Through iCloud?
Hello- I just bought a Google Pixel phone yesterday through my cell phone carrier. I'm going from an iPhone to this phone. So they were able to transfer my contacts and calendars and stuff there, but they said that I d have to manually transfer my photos at home through icloud.com. So before I traded my iPhone in, I did that backup in settings where it says "Back up Now," so I know that my phone data is backed up on my iCloud. But when I logged in on icloud.com, and clicked photos, it says I have to turn on my iCloud photo library. That wasn't on when I turned my phone in. Is there any place that my photos are stored where I can access them? Because I know that I backed up my phone, I just can't find my photos.
Did you ever have iCloud set up to the point where it was actually syncing your contacts and photos? It's a different thing from the whole-phone backup meant to restore or transplant your stuff. On the plus side, all you need is an iPhone to get it back.
If they're not backed up than you're out of luck. And it says that they weren't backed up. See if you can get your phone back. I'm curious why you turned it in in the first place. You generally don't need to to that unless you are taking advantage of some trade in promo.
Call the store right away to see if they still have the phone and haven't deleted the data. I know when I worked in a shop, if we got a phone we would clear it out right away.
- Will moving photos/videos from iPhone to google pictures in google drive free space? Just wondering if moving all my photos into the google pictures (photos?) section of the google drive app on my phone will clear up memory space?
- Will Google+ Photos distinguish photos from my iPhone and my Macbook Pro? I have Google+ backup for both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro (iPhoto) and I was wondering if it would distinguish pictures from the two. Like… "Photos from your iPhone" & "Photos from your Mac" Or, does it just upload them all into one place, and categorize all the photos just by date?
- Why does the Google Pixel 4 look identical to the iPhone 11 pro? I just saw a google pixel 4 commercial and I was like why is google advertising the iPhone 11 pro? But then I saw that it was a google pixel 4 in the caption. In fact every google pixel phone looks identical to every iPhone. I thought a company like google would be more creative in terms of design.
- Should I get the iPhone XR or Google Pixel 3 xl? I currently have an iPhone 6 and it's becoming slower and I cracked it an awful lot. I'm planning on getting a nice priced phone, and I chose those two phones because they both seem to catch my interest. I can't decide on which one to purchase. (Not now, but later on in about 2 months or so)
