EasyShare 7.2.0.6 for Android

EasyShare 7.2.0.6 is a free Android app from Vivo Communication Technology for transferring files and data between phones. It is most useful when you move to a new vivo phone and want to bring your content along, and details are on the official EasyShare website.

Who it is for

EasyShare is meant first of all for vivo owners. If you are replacing an old phone with a new vivo device, it is the manufacturer's own route for moving photos, videos, music and documents so you do not have to copy them by hand through a computer. It also suits families and friends who want to pass a batch of holiday photos or a large video from one phone to another without a computer or uploading everything to the cloud first. People who switch between brands regularly may prefer a transfer app that is not tied to one manufacturer, and anyone who only moves the odd photo can simply use the sharing options already built into Android. For the specific job of setting up a new vivo phone, however, the manufacturer's own tool is the natural first choice.

Key facts

How to move data to a new phone

1. Charge both phones and keep them close to each other.
2. Install or open EasyShare on both devices; on vivo phones it may already be present.
3. Choose which phone sends and which receives, then connect them as the app instructs.
4. Select the content you want to transfer and start.
5. Keep both screens on and do not use the phones until the transfer is complete.

More information is on the official EasyShare website.

Before you wipe the old phone

Open a few photos, contacts and documents on the new phone to confirm they arrived. Chat apps usually need their own backup and restore, so check them separately. Only then remove your accounts from the old phone and reset it.

If the transfer stops

Interrupted transfers are usually caused by a phone going to sleep, a battery saver closing the app or the devices drifting too far apart. Plug both phones in, disable power saving for the duration of the move and keep them side by side on a table. If a large video keeps failing, send it separately after the main transfer, and restart both phones before trying again.

Privacy and security

A transfer app briefly has access to almost everything on your phone. Grant permissions only for the duration of the move, do not accept transfer requests from strangers in public places, and install the app from official sources such as the phone's own app store or vivo's website.
