    Did you install on the phone you use daily? Did you need to backup anything besides photos and contacts, and what did you do for backup?

    I’m still a little intimidated by the whole transfer process

      Yep. It’s on my phone I use daily. I still have my photos on Google photos, but I plan to do takeout and store them on my computer.

      Backup: Ive been thinking about what I really want to keep, and it’s not much. Basically photos. I don’t have a good solution that is nearly as robust as google drive, but I have old pictures I’ve managed to keep safe on hard drives/computers over the years. I’m just going back to that for now.

      I tried a self hosting Google photos clone that looked really great, but I couldn’t figure it out with vpns installed, and I don’t really think my risk profile warrants it. Also, I have gone through several life scenarios where I have lost most artifacts from before, and I’m ok with that.
