Transfer from one Android phone to a new one

I have an old Moto G5 phone and I want to transfer the information to a new non-Moto Android phone.

Is there an APP I can download that can do this safely (without stealing my information or putting malware on either phone)? I would like an app that can move EVERYTHING from one phone to the other (including everything).
Thank you.

What is the brand if your new Android phone?

If it is a Samsung, you can download Samsung Smart Switch app.

New phone is pocophone.
There is no official app to migrate data to pocophone but you can try the app below.

Install the above app in both the old and new phone and follow the instructions inside the app.

From the reviews, not all apps can be moved and you need to check them one by one.

Mi Mover is the equivalent app for the Poco phones

Should come pre-installed on your new phone probably won't handle the move from Moto though :(
ShareMi is their equivalent for moving from other android OS to MIUI

Transfer operation is described here:

Does involve installing the app on the old phone too.

Does it store your info?  Difficult to be sure, but as it's already on your new phone it's not likely to post any additional risk.
