Moving your phone existence
The things we do to help others! Today, I helped someone move their telephone existence from an Android to an iOS. Not the way that I see my own life evolving, but it can be interesting to see how “the bumps in the road rattle the bus”. The two systems are similar in end function, but there isn’t a SNAP! and the job is done button among all those pretty icons.
After determining that the important information was photographic, I loaded the Dropbox app. It’s able to find the pictures and copy them into some ethereal space for as long as needed. Over to the new phone, add the same app and wait. That’s analogous to “stir gently”. After some knuckle-biting minutes, the pictures appeared. Magic is no less mysterious.
Next up, the contact list. Actually, I left before this step was completed, but since I didn’t receive any ‘help me hollers”, I assume that all is warm and friendly in the new apple pie. Seriously. Life now revolves around the phone numbers that our carrier has on file, the friends we admit to in FB and a fistful of familiar faces from Exchange. You do put the pictures on your Outlook contact cards, right? Makes it easy to sort out the uglies from the others. Joking. That part isn’t among the nested functions, as far as I know.
As for the apps; that’s not possible. Two nations, in solitude. Yes, there are apps that hold dual citizenship, but you have to find them and cultivate their existence, just as you would any other orchid (or apple core).
