I have a new phone (android).
The standard android upgrade|migration procedure offers to migrate data and applications to the new phone. I chose all data categories except music, as I will keep the old phone as a player. I want the new phone to have an independant sync set from MMW.
I attached the new phone to MMW via usb.
MMW idenfied it as my old phone; ie it said my old Pixel6 was attached, instead of creating a new profile for my Pixel8.
I did want to destroy the MMW synch status of my new phone.
It was not clear what to do. ... ie. how to force MMW to create a new profile for the new device ... Or something in MMA UI to rename the device, so that MMW would then create a new profile.
Workaround. I went into the android Pixel8 configuration of MMA and forced it to discard its cache and storage.
Is there a more obvious and discoverable way to achieve this? If no, can it be improved?
