At one time or another, you’re going to need to transfer data from one phone to another. Maybe you’re switching phones because you got a shiny new one, or because your old device went kaput.

Whatever the reason, you don’t want to leave your messages, contacts, photos, and other stuff behind. But you also don’t want to deal with the headache of using iTunes to precisely target the keepers.

The whole thing can be a real headache, especially if you need to transfer data between Apple and Android devices. With iTunes, you get broad data-syncing options that often prove tough to navigate. It’s easy to miss an album, file or category, which means a lot of poking and waiting around until you’ve got the data you want.

There are other ways to transfer phone data, all of which offer varying levels of reliability. You could use a cloud service like iCloud or Google Drive to manually move data between devices. But that’s a painstaking process, and there are several types of data you can’t move this way. Various third-party apps offer more control, but they are often more complicated or less reliable. They can crash and generally make your phone misbehave.
