How to transfer an app from my old Android—which isn't on the Google Play Store—to an iPhone

Upvotes

Hi,

I’d like to buy a new iPhone 17.

I’ve seen that there are ways to transfer apps from my old Android to the new iPhone 17.

However, I have some apps (on the Android) that aren't available on the Google Play Store.

What methods can I use to transfer these apps to the new iPhone 17?

Thanks.

Weird apps?

Upvotes

Hi there,

My abusive ex is employed for the Canadian government in a cybersecurity sense. Since we separated, I've had so many issues with my accounts like Facebook and Google. It being signed in the town where his parents live etc. Him knowing things he should not. I've signed out each time I have seen a new sign on then I was digging into my apps and I have some weird apps that do not show up on my homestretch, only in deep settings that I cannot delete like...

project-424065565634

Diary

I also turn off permissions for certain apps and they get turned back on. Like why does my phone app need access to my camera? I do not video chat on it. Or certain apps having location turned back in after I have turned it off.

I will be getting a new phone, new phone number and completely new accounts but in the meantime, what can I do about these weird apps? The option to delete them is just grayed out.

I'm not even being paranoid. The police found a GPS tracker in my vehicle with HIS fingerprints on it, but would not charge him because we were still married so apparently you can track your spouse's vehicle without their consent. he's done shady things before.

App Specific Question Only letting me choose images from Google photos?

Upvotes

All the sudden when trying to upload a video to reddit, it only lets me select from Google photos, which I don't even use. When I select the three dots, it only has a settings option, there is no longer a "browse" one. When I click settings it tells me to configure a cloud media to use and the only options are Google photos and "none".

I tried switching it to none and restarting reddit, but it still only pulls from Google photos, even though clicking settings again shows that none is selected. How do I get it back to pulling from my gallery app?

Other Can url links from app notifs be copied/extracted without navigating into the associated application? preferably without need of external device or rooting.

Upvotes

Simple goal is to pull the url from generic notification pushed from an application without allowing forcement of fully opening the app. If possible, ideally would be able to even after the app gets disabled or fully uninstalled so long as the notification hasn't been cleared.

Relatedly: Is there a way to continually archive data feeds of a common form (namely in this context Android-based app notifications), without wiping device's memory of them (else transferring cache to a more permanent but mutable parent-file), preferably with entirety of original object-files retained (i.e. dataset of all datum fields comprising a typical notif, such as app ID and datetimestamp and descript text and further description and url and thumbnail and arbitrary elsesuch as applicable/possible, chronologically ordered into the repository similarly as is ordinarily displayed, and if possible groupable by other field metric too)?

Other Does Anyone Use The PlayerPro Music Player App On The Motorola Razr Fold 2026?

Upvotes

I'm asking because I just downloaded The PlayerPro Music Player App yesterday from The Google Play Store. and I noticed that 7 songs are missing/got deleted from there even though I didn't delete them myself and all of them were there at the beginning then randomly got deleted. Is that normal? Or does that mean that the app itself is corrupted? Should I just delete the app now just to be safe? Has this happened to anyone else before? How many of you are currently using The PlayerPro Music Player App to play all your music files? I had 1,569 songs on The PlayerPro Music Player App now I only have 1,562 songs. I had to clear the cache and data in the app and now everything is back to normal now. Will The PlayerPro Music Player App corrupt all my other music files? I'm asking because someone said that The PlayerPro Music Player App corrupted all their FLAC Music Files. If I could get some advice I would really appreciate it. I'm currently using The Fold 7 but I'm going to be upgrading to The Motorola Razr Fold 2026 next month and I want to make sure that this app isn't corrupted or has some kind of virus/malware.

How to transfer whatsapp photos from old mobile to new one?

Upvotes

Hello.

I need to transfer all the photos from WhatsApp from my old phone with Android 5.0. WhatsApp has not been updated for at least 2-3 years. I have been using an iPhone for the last few years. I found instructions on the Internet, but according to them I should erase my iPhone to factory settings and select transfer of files from WhatsApp there. I don't want to do that, and I also don't know how to insert a micro SIM card into a Huawei Lua L-21. Which is a very old model. I thought about installing WhatsApp on another Android phone, for example my mother's, and trying to insert my number there, will it work? If she still has her SIM card in the phone?

The second thing that occurred to me is, if the photos were previously saved to some storage, probably Google since it's Android, will it be possible to extract the photos to the PC via the Google account? How do I do that?

Any ideas on how to get to the photos? I read that WhatsApp will stop supporting Android version 5.0 in a few days?

tldr: i have old android 5.0 or 5.1 i dont know. And i want to somehow transfer photos to iphone or different android phone, or get those photos from google drive. How?

Device Settings Question [LONG STORY] I uninstalled updates on google play services and fixed it back to its latest version and added back my Gmails but i still feel like i messed up my device

Upvotes

So basically yesterday night I was asking google ai for sandbox games and it gave me this game I didn't know that was was 17+ then i tried to download it. and then Google Play asked me to verify that I am 18+ on another Gmail account that wasnt my main Gmail.

And then I freaked out and asked the ai how to bypass the age verification and it said to uninstall updates on Google Play Services and i did just that but it didn't work because I live in texas and the verify screen was still there. And then my device lagged then i opened a new chat on google ai asking what i just did because i thought i deleted Google Play Services and got hacked.

And while i was in the middle of the chat Google Play Services sent me 3 notifications that said "Take Action Immediately" so I clicked the notification 2 minutes after Google Play Services said that and re added the Gmail back which was 1 out of 3 Gmails i had and that Gmail i put back first was my non main Gmail like how I just talked about earlier. Then after that I told my parents to do the age verification and then they helped me with the verification. But then I started talking to the ai again about what happened and it said i uninstalled updates and it showed me how to fix it back to the lastest version.

The ai said to open settings and go to apps and go to Google Play Services in apps and then view in Google Play Store and i updated it back and Google Play Services was on the old version for like 30 minutes before the ai told me how to fix it.

Then I thought I messed up my device even when i fixed the problem and tried to factory reset twice and both factory resets failed thankfully and it just restarted my device instead. Then 1 of my 3 Gmails appeared back after restarting twice and I just had to sign it in to all google stuff. Then I had to sign my third Gmail back in manually and i had to reset the password because I didn't remember it and i added it back but it made me have to do another age verification which my parents helped me with the verification again.

Then i started asking the ai some questions about if my gmails and my passwords were safe during the 30 minutes with the downgraded Google Play Services app and i also talked about where i didnt have a gmail connected for 2 minutes and if my stuff was safe during that before i added the gmail back but the ai explaned it poorly. Then i went to bed also keep in mind that this was before i knew what happened.

Then when it became morning I started asking the ai more questions and about if my Gmails were safe during the 30 minutes Google Play Services was on the outdated version and it said my stuff didn't get hacked it and was safe and it said that Google Play Services works the same even if it was an old version.

then i asked the ai if my device was vulnerable to being hacked when I didn't have a Gmail connected for 2 minutes and it said I was safe. Then I asked the ai if I messed up the automatic downloading and it said if it says remove updates it means the downloading works fine and it also said that it is impossible to accidentally stop auto updates because i am using Galaxy Tab A11+ which is a newer model.

[STORY ENDS HERE]

Is everything the ai said is true because the proof the ai gave me was confusing but I understood a little.

I also found out the reason why it made me need to verify and log into that email it was because I set the age over 18+ and it was also the most recent account i added.

Thank you for reading so i can get the help I need so I can stop stressing about it.

Title: LinkedIn account recovery — correct phone number but I'm not receiving the OTP

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m trying to recover my LinkedIn account and I’m stuck.

I still have access to my LinkedIn profile page, but I cannot log in.

My situation:

- The phone number associated with my LinkedIn account is correct.

- When I choose to receive an OTP on my phone, I don't receive any code.

- The old Gmail address associated with the account is no longer accessible to me.

- I have tried requesting the OTP, but it still doesn't arrive.

- I’m willing to complete identity verification with a government-issued ID to prove that I’m the owner of the account.

My profile URL is:

linkedin.com/in/vaibhav-singh-a48171256/

Has anyone faced the same issue where the correct phone number is linked but LinkedIn doesn't send the OTP?

What is the best way to contact LinkedIn Support and get them to offer an alternative verification method? Any advice or steps that actually worked for you would be really appreciated.

I really need to recover this account for my professional/career-related work.

Thanks in advance!

Looking For Suggestions which phone is best to buy

Upvotes

I'm trying to pick up a used phone . I really just want two things: good camera and smooth software that won't lag on me after a few months.

These are my options (all roughly the same price where I live):

- Google Pixel 8 Pro

- Samsung Note 20 Ultra (yeah I know it's old)

- Oppo A6 Pro

- iPhone 11 or 12

I take a lot of photos . Don't care about gaming or 5G.

I'm honestly leaning toward the Pixel but I keep seeing people complain about heating and battery drain. The Note has that zoom lens but I'm scared it'll feel outdated. And the iPhone, reliable but are the cameras still good in 2025?

Oppo? No idea if it even belongs in this list lol.

What would you pick? Anyone using a Pixel 8 Pro daily, is the overheating thing overblown?

thanks in advance!

Cannot uninstall YouTube apps using ADBAppControl

Upvotes

I'm trying to uninstall all YouTube apps on my Google Pixel 9a due to switching to Morphe, but they're quite stubborn and I'm having a hard time removing them.

I tried UAD and now ADBAppControl, but show that the uninstall was a success, at least ADB does, but the log file seems to show conflicting information:

shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.youtube

Failure [only root can delete system app for a particular user]

shell pm uninstall com.google.android.youtube

Success

shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.youtube.music

Failure [only root can delete system app for a particular user]

shell pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.youtube.music

Success

The apps are still on my device, any suggestions on what to do and try next?
