I can read my work emails on my own phone. Just received an email from work saying that the security on my current phone (Samsung Galaxy S8) isn't up to scratch any more. There will be no further security updates for this model.

Choice is an updated phone, or loss of access to work emails.

Upgrading/transferring everything across seems to be the only solution. Pretty sure last time I upgraded I used "Smart Switch" which, if memory serves, was pretty good.

Or just keep my current phone and not look at work emails, unless at work.

Mr. Google should transfer everything for you...

Apart from WhatsApp - you have to take a backup of Chats to your Google account then re-install on the new phone...

Or, like my son, get your company to provide one.

Not gonna happen, we are "trying to save money" whilst happily spunking double pay on anyone, however useless, to come in on overtime. Senoir management can then proclaim they have sufficient headcount.

I had to go round the WhatsApp loop several times, moving it back and fourth between the old and new phones until it stuck...  rubschin:

The chats have gone but all the pictures are still in the gallery and it is still doing stuff. Maybe they will come back, but it doesn't matter as they were all just puerile spaz jokes. Which are fine. Beautifully, all my particular swear phrases are copied across. so I don't have to retype "a bunch of utter cuntishness, peddled by the the fuckwittery of absolute mongtards who fail to see ther wankery of their spasticated dead-end ideas".

It will copy all the chats over too... You might have to go back and forth a few times... ::)
