**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 고객님, 스마트 스위치 팀입니다. 앱 이용에 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 다만, 제공해주신 설명으로는 안내가 어렵다는 점 양해 말씀드립니다. 'Samsung Smart Switch Mobile'은 기존 기기의 데이터를 새 Galaxy 기기(휴대폰 또는 태블릿)로 쉽게 전송할 수 있는 애플리케이션입니다. 따라서, 타사 기기로 데이터 전송을 받는 기능을 제공하지 않고 있습니다. 또한, 스마트 스위치 앱은 이미지 파일을 삭제하는 기능을 제공하지 않고 있으며 데이터 전송을 위해 사진을 선택하는 기능만 제공되고 있습니다. 문의 내용을 확인하신 후, 진입 경로나 상황에 대한 설명을 자세하게 기재하여 주시면 확인 후 안내 도와드리겠습니다. 감사합니다.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2026-06-05, version 1.0.15*

I want to transfer four photos onto my friend's Samsung, not my entire photo library and 15 years worth of phone contacts. Idiota.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t transfer anything

*2026-06-01, version 1.0.15*

I set up what I wanted to transfer.  It gave me the option of USB or WiFi.  I hooked up the proper cable but the app never recognized the connection.  Then I switched to WiFi and it told me to scan the QR code on my Samsung, but it never generated a QR code

Von Samsung auf Samsung klappt bei mir gut aber nicht von Samsung auf I-Pad

First impressions nice it’s gonna be fast andddddd nope takes at least 3 mins or more and it won’t even register the 2 devices I’m trying to transfer my data and account from like I get you’re gonna have a lottttttt of data and it probably will take a WHILE later on but it should probably be like 10 mins or something like that but it’s just a pain to transfer things to & from and in my experience it’s not good and not really worth it and I would say get something better if u can get it

**Developer response:** Dear Customer, This is the Smart Switch team. 
We're sorry that the app is currently not working perfectly for you. 
However, it is difficult to provide guidance based on the description you have provided us. 
Here are some basic troubleshooting methods: 
1. Make sure that you are using the most current version of the app. (iOS: 1.0.15 / Galaxy: 3.7.69.15).
2. Trying to move Messages? We recommend using a USB connection, as this transferring method supports more types of data. 
If the issue persists, please contact us via email (sswitch.cs@samsung.com), with the OS/model number of both devices, including a description of the problem situation. 
We will examine the material with great detail to provide a better app experience. 
Thank you.

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2026-03-31*

Estou tentando transferir do meu iPhone pro Android e não consigo , só dá pra transferir do Android pro iPhone

**Developer response:** Hello, Smart Switch requires that the receiving device be a Galaxy. So please understand that third-party devices cannot receive transfers. Thank you.

### 1/5 — 全く使い物にならない

*2026-03-18*

初めてGALAXYを使用。iPhoneからGALAXYへ連絡先のみをケーブルを使って転送しようとしたが、GALAXY側の全てのアプリを削除したにも関わらず容量不足だからと転送できず。
再起動やOSの更新を試しても変わらず。
時間を無駄にしました。

**Developer response:** Hello, this is the Smart Switch team.

When restoring data from an iPhone to a Galaxy, the iOS backup method is used as is. 
So even if you transfer only certain data (some items such as photos and messages) through Smart Switch, IOS will back up all of your data.

Therefore please delete any unused data before back up. 
Or you can restore data from the iPhone to the Galaxy via iPhone → PC → Galaxy.

Even if you are backing up using a PC, it will also perform a full backup.
But the capacity of the PC may be slightly better than that of the smartphone. 
Therefore, we recommend backing up to a PC and then restoring it.

You can download and install the Smart Switch PC program from a PC using the following link. 
Choose Language: https://www.samsung.com/global/download/Smart Switchwin/
Or English: https://www.samsung.com/global/download/Smart Switchwin/

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2026-03-17*

Péssimo. Perdi meu histórico do WhatsApp de seis anos.

**Developer response:** Dear Customer, This is Smart Switch team.

We're sorry for your inconvenience.

When moving data from iPhone to Galaxy, Whatsapp's data is supported when moving through a wired connection.
It would be a good idea to move the data through a wired connection once again.
Also, if you have backed up your data through iTunes on your iPhone PC, you can restore the backup data through Smart Switch PC. This restore data also contains the data of Whatsapp.
If you follow the guide and update the content with a review. We will try to make it a better service after checking the content.

If you have any other questions, please contact us at sswith.cs@samsung.com.

Thank you.
