if you have been using WA for more than a decade 28GB data is normal, some ppl have more even.
WA is the only app that unfortunately we use it a lot here in our region for personal and work too. And it is the app that make u think twice before switching mobile OS. BTW don't wanna carry 2 phones just because of WA liao.

WA..it’s those videos and video notes that are taking in a huge chunk of space. If got do proper space keeping, able to shrink down the WA storage by alot srsly. Some pics sent are also duplicate, over different people/groups.

Important photos or videos just copy them to folders. Then just empty WA.

My father's WA got so many of these junks from friends and associates that his phone storage is full. I have to delete everything for him and teach him to delete if no use. WA is really a junk warehouse.

18PM 512gb glacier available at mbs today as of now.

No froztheart, it’s the other way round. Not our Android phone isn’t updated enough to dl the apk, it’s Apple developers don’t wanna host it on Android PlayStore anymore lol. Same scenario as SG Pools app. You can find it on AppStore, but Android users got to go to official Sg pools website to dl the .apk file.

Anyway, I found the apk file for you already bro nuscape.
It’s on Apple website: Move to iOS Official App (Android .apk file)

Choose Android 6.0 or later (Universal).

Hmmm.. that's weird as I am still seeing it in my Play Store on my Androids. Just got an update too.

And yes you’re right that it must be a resetted iPhone, choose Transfer from Android option. Connect both phones by usb-c cable. <—for @nuscape.

Now I know why Apple took down that Move to iOS apk from PlayStore. On the latest Android 17, there is No Need for the Move to iOS app anymore, to transfer files from Android to iOS when you’re switching hp. Link is here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/118670#noapp

Too bad I restored from my iCloud as I feel that alot of my old 17PM settings are better inline to my 18PM. Hence at the 18PM startup screen I didn’t choose the option ‘Transfer from Android’.

Right, so its built in now instead.

Yesterday went down with my friend to collect her new 18PM. The genius person told my friend it doesn't work with matte screen protector. I show them my phone with matte screen protector and ensure them it will work just like any other clear protector. The genius person was stun and said it works??????

You believe what the so called “Genius” say and their expert opinion? LOL many don’t even know what they are talking about. I went to pick up my iPhone 18 Pro. The person was telling someone else, iPhone all sold out no stocks. I showed him the page with all 3 stores showing availability and able to pick up today. I told him, full of stocks, not sure what he smoking that day. A lot of noobs working there for sure.

Make sale by telling ppl no stocks when there is plenty available? Guess this is the results of mass hiring for seasonal job for iPhone launch, you get those who barely know anything pretending to be experts.

Yea they once told me it’s alright to reset my iPhone and the eSIM will still be there. I even questioned them and both of them said if it didn’t and I have to pay to get the eSIM installed again then go back to find them. But they were damn confident. Guess what it didn’t stay and it was gone. Couldn’t be bothered to go back to claim the $5 (?) install fee. M1 waived it instead. Even their technicians might not be very good, once I went to the apple orchard to get my phone checked, but end up I didn’t do any repair because it was out of warranty, and when I went back home the phone got into boot loop. Turns out water got into the top speaker because they didn’t seal it back properly, but I got no evidence against that since I brought it home already. I only know about this after going to mr mobile to get it diagnosed and have the Face ID component removed. Almost every iPhone I got has issues, so I pay for AppleCare these days. Even now my iPhone 16 pro battery can’t startup the phone from a dead battery (took 9 hours to get it boot up after many long boot loops), and the battery health die die stay at 80%. Still under warranty until Nov so will see how it goes this time.
