In what order should I do these things when setting up my new phone?

I have a subscription to Malwarebytes Mobile Security. Will this subscription automatically transfer across to my new phone or should I just cancel the subscription if my new phone doesn't need Malwarebytes?

You can find the subscription key in the app on your old phone, note/copy it down and enter into the app on the new phone.

Actually, I might have found it.

There's subscription ID that consists of 27 characters, starting with GPA and finishing with ..0

There's also a license key which is a series of numbers and capital letters in this format:

XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Could this be it?

Why don't you think I need it?

I'm not sure you understand what Malwarebytes is? It's not anti-virus

I don't think you need it, however, if you've got a subscription then you might as well use it until the sub expires.

Go into your Malwarebytes account https://my.malwarebytes.com/subscriptions

Go to Billing & payment, TURN AUTO RENEWAL OFF

From the Subscriptions page you can see how many devices you have active / paid for (probably 1) and when the sub expires.

Deactivate your old device.

You should now be able to sign into your account in the app on your new phone, the status in the online account should be Active against your new device.

I got a 2 year/2 device deal for $12. Acceptable. Run it on two laptops. Free version installed on phones/tablets.

Their current pricing of ~£30/yr 1 device, £15 per extra is not worth considering unless you are a) paranoid and b) rich.

Thanks. I've cancelled the subscription. It will run until September.

Good decision. The in-built security in Android is more than sufficient for normal users. Enjoy your new phone BTW, it will be a massive upgrade after 7 years.

Please be aware that Android does not offer offer call filtering, SMS filtering, or web protection. Some manufacturers do add the first two to their skins.

The OP's bought a Samsung Galaxy A35 5G; Samsung Knox has many security features on the mobi

Sorry, I don't know what that means.

Is there something else that I need to do that I haven't mentioned?
