Before getting started, it’s good practice to have a cloud backup of all your necessary files. If you have an Android phone, simply make use of Google’s many apps and services to store photos, videos, contacts, messages, and other files that are locally saved on your device.
If your old phone is an iPhone, consider the possibility that some data may be left behind in the migration process, if only because it runs on a completely different ecosystem. Although some free iOS apps have Android counterparts and will automatically be set up on the new Pixel phone when available, some paid apps and in-app purchases may not be transferred. If you have any iPhone apps that you deem absolutely necessary, look them up in the Google Play Store and take note of any substitutions, if the actual apps aren’t accessible.
Another important thing for iPhone owners to remember is that iMessage and FaceTime are iOS-only services and will not be accessible on your new Google Pixel. Before initiating the transfer process, make sure you disable both on your old iPhone. Launch the Settings app, then go to Messages to switch the toggle to the off position next to iMessage. Go back to the Settings menu and do the same for FaceTime. If you own other Apple devices, consider de-registering your phone number from them when applicable.
Finally, regardless of what your old smartphone model is, make sure that you have the latest version of its operating system installed and that you have stable WiFi connectivity to lessen potential hiccups in the data migration process.
