Your old device is full of apps and games that you\u2019ll want to bring over.

This usually works pretty well if you\u2019re switching to a new device from the same manufacturer as your old one. However, it isn\u2019t perfect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is the Google Play Store?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the Google Play Store keeps a record of everything that you\u2019ve ever installed.
