In this speedy digital age, phone backup is one of those things we all intend to do—but keep putting off. Perhaps your phone fell out of your hand, the screen blacked out, or you inadvertently clicked “Delete All” when freeing up storage space. Poof. Your precious photos, key texts, and valuable documents vanish—and you never made a backup.
Although Tenorshare UltData for Android cannot make backups, it can recover lost information—including photos, videos in any format, documents, social media messages including WhatsApp and Instagram messages, mobile phone contacts, locally stored data like text messages, etc.
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of how it works, what it restores, and why it’s a necessity for forgotten backups or restoring the local data that is not covered by backups.
How Do I Back Up My Phone?
Before I jump into the recovery of my data, I think it is a good idea to know how to back up my phone in the first place—so the next time something goes wrong, you don’t panic. Android provides inbuilt features to have your critical data backed up automatically, and that’s relatively easy to configure.
Google Backup
Most devices on Android come connected to your Google account, making it easier to back up:
- Open Settings on your phone.
- Tap Google > Backup.
- Toggle on Back up to Google Drive (or Google One on newer versions).
- Ensure items such as apps, SMS, call history, contacts, and device settings are checked.
Google Photos also provides automatic photo and video backup. Simply open the Google Photos app, go to Settings > Backup & sync, and turn it on.
Samsung Smart Switch (For Samsung Users)
If you own a Samsung phone, you can use Samsung Smart Switch for Android backup to PC or Samsung Cloud. Simply:
- Download Smart Switch on your PC or Mac.
- Plug in your phone via USB.
- Choose the Backup option to store your files locally.
By utilizing these pre-installed options, you will keep your information secure even in case of your device getting crashed or restored to factory settings. Nevertheless, whenever backups are omitted or partial, recovery software like Tenorshare UltData come into play.
