Common questions

Why are there different steps for Samsung and Pixel?

Samsung adds its own One UI menus on top of Android, so the same setting is often in a different place. Our guides split the steps by brand when the menus differ.

How do I check my Android version?

Open Settings, then About phone, and look for Android version. On Samsung phones it is under Settings, About phone, Software information.

Will a reset remove my Google account?

A factory reset removes your accounts and data from the phone. Back up first and make sure you know your Google account password before you reset.
