After factory reset, phone has been "restoring" for an hour. Normal?

Samsung Galaxy S7. It prompted "restore 83 apps" and I selected yes, and it's been restoring for over an hour now. Is this normal? A little worried it's using data.


Additionally, I plan to restore my phone via a backup to my computer that I did earlier today. Is there any point in waiting for Google to restore my apps if I'm just going to restore it from Smart Switch on my computer anyway?

yeah i would just use smart switch to be honest with you. are you using wifi or cellular? i would wait until you are on wifi to do this

Thanks! Closed the google restore and just used smart switch. So much faster, no data use, and everything's saved! Thanks : )
