I tried using Samsung Smart Switch Mobile to transfer my data from an iPhone to a Samsung phone. Unfortunately, it didn't work as smoothly as I had hoped. Some of my contacts and messages were missing after the transfer. I had to manually transfer them again. Disappointed.

I had a bit of trouble getting Samsung Smart Switch Mobile to connect to my computer. The app kept giving me an error message. After trying a few times, I was finally able to establish a connection. It would be great if this issue could be resolved in future updates.
