    Hi all. Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

    I have an old S8 that I want to give away but I want to delete all my data before doing that. I've used Smart switch to transfer my data to my new phone but the S8 is still getting notifications from the apps on it.

    How do i clear out any data without deleting data and apps from my current phone? The factory reset option is looking for WiFi access but I'm worried that it will also delete from my new phone?

    It won't, factory reset is what you need to do. :)
