How to transfer home screen bookmarks

[Michael VanBuskirk]

Hi everyone.
Just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S10e today and transferred all my apps, etc from my old Galaxy S8 to the new phone.
It worked good but I have about three pages of site bookmarks on the home screen and I can't figure out how to transfer them to the S10e.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

are you using a custom launcher? i use nova and you can save your homescreen setup. not sure but smart switch might be able to back that and restore it.

Smart switch copied everything except those.
I downloaded Nova but am not sure how to do that.

I have Nova but am not sure how to do that.
I used Smart Switch to copy the files to the new phone but it didnt copy those files

i have the nova prime (which is the paid version) in its settings, you can backup and import you nova screen settings.....not sure if that is offered in the free version or not.

Or you can save each one as a bookmark, and simply re add to your new screen

If you launch Nova do you see the same shortcuts? I'd expect not, but I never use desktop bookmarks so can't be certain they aren't different. But if they aren't there then Nova's backup feature won't shorten the task for you really as you'll have to re-add them all to Nova before you can back them up - in which case syncing them via a browser and re-adding on your new phone, as Danny suggests, will be quicker.

Everything on the desktop is produced by your launcher, and I assume you are using the stock Samsung launcher. So if Samsung's own software doesn't support transferring them from the S8's stock (Samsung) launcher to the S10e's stock (Samsung) launcher I'm not optimistic about anything else doing it.

I have about 60 or more so that's going to take a while I guess.
