Hello everyone,

I am thinking of switching from Samsung to the latest iPhone, as my current phone died this week and repairing is not worth the price. I have been using Samsung for a couple of years now, and my last iPhone was the 4s.

I keep up to date with most of the new tech, and I am familiar with some parts of the phone’s software, however some things cannot be checked or tested without actually using the phone. I would like to ask for the below app alternatives in iOS (if available), and get clarification on some points:

App alternatives:

- Aegis (2FA), what is the best 2FA in the App Store?

- Cloudstream (Steaming movies/series/etc… from various sources)

- YouTube Vanced (YT premium but better). I do not have YouTube premium in my country, and honestly this is one of the best apps on Android.

- Tachiyomi (Manga/comics reader)

- Are there any good surviving Reddit clients?

- Are there any good file managers?

Some concerns that I have:

- Can you move your Whatsapp chats from Android to iOS?

- If there is an app that is not available in a country/region, is there a way to side-load it or maybe change the app store’s region to download it?

- Does smartthings work on iOS for supported devices?

- Are you able to automate tasks and routine similar to the Samsung routine feature?

Also, if there are any tips or things to look out for before making such a move, please feel free to highlight it too.

Cheers!

    To transfer WhatsApp chat you’ll need to use move to iOS app. Basically any supported apps will be carried over to your new iOS device. And tachiyomi, there’s still no good alternative for this one… but you can try tachimanga instead
