# Switching from the (now deprecated) official version
Switching is easier then you may think!
- On Syncthing on the official app, go into the settings and create a backup
- Confirm you can see that backup in your files
- Now stop the official app entirely using the system app settings for Syncthing (force stop the app basically - we need to ensure it's not running)
