"My Pixel 2 served me well. The battery seems as good as on day one, and the phone is almost as smooth as it was new. But after four years and no updates this year, it is time to upgrade. My new phone should be delivered today. Can someone spot me a link to the best way to migrate settings, Nova settings, WhatsApp, chat, messages, contacts, phone history, etc., to my Pixel 7 Pro? Google One does a phone backup each day, but I am not sure if that backs up everything I need."
