I assumed it had worked. Apparently it only gave an illusion. Though it copied some data, it was half baked. The files copied were limited to 10; if you had more it copies the first 10 only. It is not right to inform the copying is done. I need to check whether my Nexus 5 still has the files; it has been 7 months since I did the transfer to Pixel 3, I just did not notice. Reminds me not to trust Google!

Can't open the app even though it exists in my apps. Everything didn't transfer over during initial setup. Google support says look for "finish setup" in settings, which doesn't exist. Now the only option is to reset the phone and HOPE everything transfers over. Why can't I just open the app and select things I want transferred?? Retarded

Lots to improve. More than half of the settings are forgotten. To name a few, notification settings for individual apps, background restrictions for apps, tap to wake screen, squeeze settings, always on display settings and many more. All these I had to redo again for each app and that too when porting from one pixel to another.
