having an iPhone but an Android Tablet

[Wreckus]

After getting my Samsung S7 Tablet, i'm debating if I should switch to an Samsung S21 phone or stick w/ iPhone.

Is anyone else currently (or was) using an iPhone but an android tablet and not an iPad?

Looking for tips on how to make the iPhone & android tablet work better together. Bear in mind, i'm mostly using Microsoft or Google services to move my info back & forth.

Depends on what you need synced. You can sync most everything besides text messages. This is my preferred between iPhone and Android.

- Use Google to sync contacts and calendar.
- One Drive for files.
- Google Photos for pictures.
- One Note for notes.
- MS ToDo for tasks
- MS Office for office work
- BitWarden for passwords
- Brave or Firefox as default browser on both and bookmarks sync

Really most apps on both platforms with cloud services will sync.

I have a S6 and its a great tablet. I have several iPads and iPhones, but Samsung has done a nice job with the ONE UI eco system. I really enjoy the Dex feature

Most or all of my stuff is now sync. The only issue I had was my contacts as, much to my dismay, my iphone will not sync my contacts with either google and MS services. I had to export my contacts on my laptop (icloud on the web) and import them into google & microsoft.

I was just courious if others was in the same boat as me and what their experience on using an iphone and android tablet.

I love my S7 Tablet. Haven't used the Dex feature yet, however.

Even though i'm about a week of owning my S7, I already using it much more than I used my iPad mini in the last month. Tried to sideload the apple tv app, but that didn't work. Wanted to download movies & tv shows I bought from the iTunes store. Hopefully Apple smartens up and releases the app on android tablets & phones. Doubt that will happen though.

I switch between apple and android phones and tablets regularly, so I use use an app called Smoothsync for iCloud.

SmoothSync for iCloud - Apps on Google Play

You may need to set up specific password for the app through your Apple ID account, but it works perfectly for syncing contact and calendar info between your apple and android devices.
