To restore your game progress on your new phone, first, ensure your game progress was backed up on your previous device, usually via linking the game to a social media account or cloud service. On your new phone, install the game, then log in with the same account used for the backup (Google Play, Facebook, iCloud, etc.). This should prompt the game to restore your previous progress. If the game supports it, manually importing a saved game file may also be an option, requiring a transfer of the file from the old to the new device.
