How to Restore Backup & Transfer Data to Google Pixel 9

Setting Up Your Google Pixel 9

• 💡 The setup process for the Google Pixel 9 begins by selecting your language and choosing to set up using another device.
• 🚀 The primary method involves selecting 'Pixel or Android device' and scanning a QR code displayed on the new Pixel 9 with your old phone.
• 🔑 Verification is required, typically by entering your old pattern or password, and the phone automatically connects to Wi-Fi.

Data Transfer Options

• 📱 The Pixel 9 prompts you to verify your identity by entering your previous PIN or using your Google account.
• ⚙️ You can then choose to copy data from an Android device, with options to select specific content like apps, photos and videos, device settings, and call history.
• ⏳ The data copying process may take a few minutes, and you have the option to skip or do it later.

Restoring from Google One Backup

• ☁️ An alternative method involves skipping the 'use another device' option and connecting to Wi-Fi.
• 👤 You then sign into the same Google account used for a previous backup (Google One/cloud).
• 💾 The system allows you to restore data from a recent backup, confirming it with your old device's screen lock.

Post-Transfer Setup

• ✅ After data transfer, you'll configure Google services, set up the AI assistant (Jiminy), and decide on sharing preferences.
• 📲 Apps selected for transfer will begin downloading and installing in the background automatically.
• ✨ The setup is complete when you see the 'all has been set' message, and your device is ready to use with transferred data and wallpaper.
