So when you log into a new device, you get all of:

- all your apps
- all their settings
- all the data stored locally by the apps
- all the photos you took on the old device
- all the SMSes on the old device

?

It was my understanding that Android apps had the option to store settings in a way that meant they ended up being transferred between devices, but that they mainly opted not to. Is this not the case ?

I'm not trying to bash Android by the way, both dominant mobile OSes have their pluses and minuses. I'm just trying to check that my understanding of how it works with Android in this area is correct.
