So my daughter wants my Pixel 8 Pro which is just collecting dust since I bought the 9 Pro XL last year. She has the Pixel 6a now.

Ok I did a factory data reset on the 8 Pro restarted and used her Google account to start the setup process, and said copy all data and everything from her phone. Ok, so looks like everything did transfer over EXCEPT the Google Messages ugh. her phone call list of recenets and stuff was there, he e-mails and stuff there like the old phone, but I wasn't a seemless move like I see on iPhone's, it seems going from iPhone to iPhone you can literally get an exact 100% transfer and the new phone will be setup just like the old phone 100%. But this Google Pixel to Google Pixel seemed more like a 60% copy. Even certain phone numbers I had blocked in her contacts were not blocked on the transfer in the new phone.

Any suggestions please?
