Help Can I re-install apps on new phone in bulk?

[New Member]

I want to put all the apps from my original device onto the new one. The apps I've downloaded in the past show up on Google Play, but I was wondering if I can just install all of them altogether. I seem to remember a rep having shown me how to do that at the store but don't know what he did.

As soon as you set-up your new phone, once you've logged-in to your Google account the apps should install automatically.

Is there a reason that didn't happen? Anything I can try to do that again?

During setup, (after you signed in with your ID) it should have asked you if you wanted to restore/backup from your ID. Maybe you chose to skip that?

Is there a way to come back to this step? I don't want to hard reset my phone of course. I already added my Google accounts.

For the google option to work you also had to have had it turned on, on your old phone...

Anyone know how you can reset the "backup" ?

It still only every downloads my old S3 set of Apps and always leaves out new ones ... Backup & Restore is enabled - but it never seems to be working perfectly....

To be honest, I consider it one of Google famous "half finished" projects.

I never it had work properly or offer features (like choosing what to sync or when) that a finished back-up app would.
