WhatsApp needs to be done separately in the app but again through Google drive.
I'm about to upgrade my ancient Moto G phone and I know I should have done this before. For a total non techie can anyone please highlight the steps I need to go through and any apps I need to ensure I can transfer
My photos
Contacts
What's App messages
Text messages
Plus anything else important I've forgotten
TIA

My dads phone was so old (My old samsung Tocco) we ended up connecting it to his computer to try to download pics etc on to that as it wouldn't / couldn't transfer across to his new phone. Modern phones appear to be only backwards compatible to a point. I also has to set him up with a google account to try to get the rest across. In the end I think I saved most info (contacts, phone numbers) to his sim card and trimmed it down to fit. Also if your phone has a SD card in it you can transfer quite a lot on that using an appropriate app from playstore.
There are also some apps that help transfer your data from one phone to the other. Also, the majority of phone prompt you to transfer your personal data from the old phone when you do the initial setup.
Just did this yesterday with samsung smart switch app.
Went from blackeberry priv android 6 to samsung s10e android 9.
Did it via micro SD card and was done in the hour.
Seems to have gone okay but some settings didnt get transfered like my k9mail email program.
