Question

How to transfer account from one phone to another

I originally installed LR on my Google pixel last year and have 500 pictures and my own presets. I just got a new phone s23, but when I log into LR from new phone my account is empty.  How do I get my pictures off old phone? 🤔 🤔 

 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for responding! Do you think if I signed up for the subscription through old phone and then logged back in on new phone they'd all be there? If not I guess I can sort through and just keep pics I want and put in my Dropbox that would work and at least I wouldn't lose them. So many doggy pics. 🤣

If you have a subscription then if you sign in with the same account details, your whole Library will sync.

 

However, if you have the free app then you would need to export all the photos, assuming to something like Google Drive and import them from there into the new phone. 
I'm unsure if you can export Presets from a Google phone, so you may need to apply these into separate DNG files, and Create Preset on the new phone.

(I do not knowif there is any way that you can do a full back up of a Google Phone and reinstall on a Samsung, to save all the hassle)
