Hi all,
Earlier,we used to stick on to the same one for years once we purchase a phone. Now, scenario has changed. With the era of Android and then the 'G's, phones became smarter. Changes keep on coming very often. Youngsters tend to change their device in order to enjoy latest technology. I noticed that despite the anxiety to try new devices, some people decide to stick with their old device simply with the fear of losing data collected over a period of time.
Yes their apprehension is right. If you are using a phone for years, you may have thousands of contact numbers saved in your device, hundreds of sms, important whatsapp chats, useful applications etc.
You can change your phone without the fear of losing data ! You can use your new phone same as the old device within minutes of activating your new phone! You just need to follow these simple but important tips. This is some basic information and intended for noob only.
Backup account
If you are using a smartphone, obviously you may have signed in with an email account. Your important data will be saved there. Your contacts can be saved in your email account instead of keeping them in the phone memory/sd card/sim card. Lets see the option in android phones.
Backup using application
Lot of applications available in the Playstore to back up your data. Personally I suggest 'Super Backup' app. Using this application, you can take back up of your contacts, sms, applications, call logs, calendar events, bookmarks and pictures to your sd card or drive. When you start using a new phone, simply install the application again from playstore, restore the data from sd card/drive depending on where you saved it.
Backup of pictures and videos
Your favorite pictures and videos can be saved in the SD card as well as in cloud storage apps like google drive, Mega etc. You will get around 15 gb free space there.
Thats it! If you have any querry, drop it in the comment section.
