How to Back Up Your Android Phone Automatically
Backing up your Android data is simple. Google stores most of your options and data in the cloud, making it easy to transfer it from one device to another, such as when you buy a new phone. As long as your Android device uses your primary email, nearly everything in the Google suite, including Calendar, Contacts, Gmail, and other Google apps, is set to automatically back up. By default, your Android phone is set to back up data automatically. Follow these steps to make sure the settings are correct.
Back Up Android Phone Using Third-Party Apps
There are several third-party options to back up an Android device. Samsung users can use the Samsung Cloud service. Here are some other options:
G Cloud Backup: It’s free, it’s easy to use, and one of the highest-rated Android backup apps in the Google Play store. G Cloud Backup has an intuitive setup, and you choose which apps, items, and data to back up. It also has inexpensive options to upgrade an account and add more data and choices.App Backup and Restore: App Backup and Restore offers a few more options for users with a lot of data, but it’s not quite as easy to use as G Cloud. If you prefer to have a physical data backup (such as an SD card) over cloud storage, this one is a better bet for ease of use.SMS Backup & Restore: If you want to access your text messages across devices, this is the app for you. It’s easy to use, and you can set up an automatic update schedule so you don’t need to remember to manually back up your messages. After you set up a schedule, this app does the rest.
