Note: Due to compatibility issues between devices, it may not be possible to install and use Smart Switch on certain devices. For data transfer, both devices must have at least 500 MB of free space in their internal memory. For wired connections, the device must support the 'Transferring media files (MTP)' USB option. If you're using a non-Samsung device that frequently disconnects from the wireless network, go to Advanced Wi-Fi settings, disable the “Wi-Fi initialize” and “Disconnect low Wi-Fi signal” options, and try again. These options may vary depending on your device's manufacturer and OS version.
