Got a new phone? Switching devices on Buddzy is one of the smoothest experiences you'll have during a phone upgrade. No backup files, no transfer codes, no complicated migration process. Just download the app, log in, and everything's right where you left it.
How It Works
Here's the full device-switching process:
- Download Buddzy on your new phone from the App Store or Google Play Store.
- Open the app and tap to log in.
- Enter your phone number — the same number linked to your account.
- Receive your OTP — a 6-digit SMS code sent to your number.
- Enter the code — and you're in.
That's it. The whole thing takes about 2 minutes, and your full account is waiting for you on the other side.
What Transfers Over
Everything. Seriously, your entire Buddzy life moves with you:
- Profile — Your avatar, display name, bio, and Mood emoji.
- Friends — Your complete friend list and Galaxy layout.
- Stars — Your Star wallet balance, history, and received totals.
- Streaks — All active Streaks with their current day counts intact.
- Achievements — Your Trophy Room, badges, titles, and progress.
- Aura and Level — Your full Aura progression.
- Rankings — Your position on all leaderboards.
- Settings — Your notification preferences, privacy settings, and language choice.
Everything lives on Buddzy's servers, not locally on your device. So switching phones is just a matter of logging in from a new place.
Do I Need to Log Out of My Old Phone?
Nope. When you log in on a new device, your old session is handled automatically. You don't need to hunt down your old phone to log out first. The system manages session transitions seamlessly.
Switching Between iPhone and Android
Cross-platform switches work exactly the same way. iPhone to Android? Android to iPhone? No difference. Download, log in, done.
Pro Tips
- Don't delete Buddzy from your old phone until you've confirmed everything looks good on the new one. Better safe than sorry.
- If your phone number is changing with the new device, handle the number change through Support before switching. You need SMS access to the number on your account.
- After switching, check your notification settings. New phone installs sometimes reset OS-level notification permissions.
- The 2-minute process includes the OTP wait time. The actual tapping takes about 30 seconds.
Good to Know
Buddzy stores all your data in the cloud, so device switches are inherently safe. Even if something goes wrong with the new phone, your account is fully intact and accessible from any device where you can receive your OTP. Your data is in the cloud, not in the phone.
