So which method(s) do each of you use to be sure you have a complete intermittent back-up?

There must be an android equivalent of Apple's Finder copy with Time Machine backups.

The backup/restore path is so difficult, will probably keep the iPhone.

Yes it is. Attaching via USB is excellent, but proper software is essential. Which/What app / software will: 1. Back up the entire phone, and 2. Make subsequent incremental backups, and 3. Can be used to successfully restore to the Android phone ???????????????????????????????????

Thanks, but I prefer to back up locally.

Why was the Andoid purposefully made to prevent complete cloning ? Seems like I'll return this S26 Ultra and get an iPhone: https://chatgpt.com/share/6ac6bf3c-9180-83e8-a57a-60d44686f47a

Thanks, will investigate Terabox. Samsung Switch only does complete back-ups. Please name those "etc" ones.

Does anyone here have an answer to make intermittent backups as easy as Apple does for the iPhone ???

Apple uses the Finder to back up an iPhone, and it updates that backup in increments so it is fast after the first backup. Smart Switch doesn't do that. Which application for a MacBookPro with an Android phone attached will 1. Make an initial backup, and 2. Make incremental backups...

I'm a life-long Android user (phone) and find it intuitive and user friendly 99% of the time. Since 60% of the USA use an iPhone and my son enjoys the iPhone, I purchased a the iPhone 18 Pro. OMG--- so many parts are NOT easy. The screen image is better on my A54. I made a list of ten issues...

I'm using an Android phone, not a tablet. BUT I did find a side button setting, changed it, and now it works like before.

Interesting. Where/how to find that?

As stated above, disabling in Settings ---> Apps did not work. Only changing button settings worked. Having to press two buttons in order to restart or power off is ridiculous.

Found the solution. Settings for side button!! Yippee. Pressing the two buttons to activate Gemini would be okay, but didn't see that as an option.

The single lower right button was nice. You press and can shut down, restart, etc. Starting yesterday some secret clandestine "upgrade" changed the phone so that one button brings up Gemini. I don't want it. The directions to disable Gemini is to force stop it. So in Settings ---> Apps...
