I got my mom a new iphone. On her old phone I set up the privacy settings according to a couple of guides I found on the old privacy guides subreddit. Will the settings survive being transferred to her new phone? Thanks.

    Depends on the brand and devices used.

    Personally, for Samsungs Galaxy transfer all of my stuff was pretty much ready to go. However, I don’t trust config files to properly transfer all the time so double check in your browser settings.

    But general phone security options should transfer on Samsung and Apple phones between the same type of phones (say Galaxy-> Galaxy or iPhone-> iPhone). Don’t trust it to fully transfer for phones like Pixel or other not as mainstream phones.

    Just my two cents though.
