Backing up information to your Google Account with Google Drive is free and keeps all your files safe as long as you have it set up correctly. In this video I walk you through everything you need to know to make sure your info is being properly saved and ready to move to a new phone at any time. I also show how to use Autofill to quickly login to all your apps.

There are many ways to backup and transfer your personal info from one phone to another but this is all about using what is built into ever Android phone. Do you use Google Autofill?

Thank you, Brett. I got a fresh Samsung S7 from Swappa to replace my aging Motorola Z. I found your video, and boy, what a great help! I had to download the Samsung utility to my Whoopie-Rolla. Once I figured that out, it went a lot more smoothly, saving me hours and hours - and hours of hard work. Much appreciated.

Man! I'm 6:35 minutes in and I paused in part because my attention span needs work, but this is so much better than the last video I clicked on.The guy was talking about backing up and restoring but not showing us "non-tech babies" how to do it like you are. Listening to you thoroughly walk me through the process for close to 20 minutes beats the frustration that I feel searching for the right video....one that does not use a language other than English but has an English title....Thank you. I'm getting my old phone and my new one. This is gonna take tenacity. Rewind!

Bro if you restore your backup in your new phone and if you delete photos or video from your old phone the photos and video will be automatically deleted from your new phone but if you turn off back up in new phone but turn on back up in old phone your photo will not deleted from new phone but your deleled photo will be deleted from cloud but if you switch your Google account in old phone google photos and delete photo the photo will be deleted from your device but not from new phone and cloud storage

Thank you so much for your instructions. You are a life saver. I was able to backup and restore the files and data to my Samsung phone. My phone went Rouge this morning. I picked up my phone to check message, on its own,, the screen was downloading I don't know what. Then the screen was erasing data which resulted in a factory reset. My carrier ( V ) could not tell me what happened with my phone and refused to connect me with Tech Support. I was advised that I may not be able to recover my data. . I was on a chat session with my carrier from 12:46 am to 3:27 am this morning with no resolution. I was advised to go to Google to backup and reset my phone; the steps were incomplete, and the steps were not accurate. Thanks again.

Great video. I wanted to ask you if this method of backing up your android data to your google account, comprehends even the whatsapp data or not? Or should we back up our whatsapp data separately by using the specific backup function into the app itself? How much space does google give your for backing up whatsapp data for free into the google servers (google drive i guess?)? Last question, is there any android 'itunes" type free software that permits you to do a full backup of the data on the pc and then possibily restore it on another android phone? Thank you

I knew a few days ago old android phone was failing so I backed it up to google drive, and the backup is sitting there. I bought new android phone today thinking it would be easy to restore the backup from google drive - but it seems impossible to do it. In new phone's settings - the "backup" option is there - but no option for "restore". So how do I get the backup to this new phone? The old phone completely failed now - so I can't get into it at all. Any suggestions?

Is that a Google account or is it a different account?

I have a Motorola 5G Ace. For some incomprehensible reason, Google has made restoring data much more difficult to do. The 'backup & restore" tab is now just 'accounts." And there is no simple "restore" button like there used to be. And I can't figure out how to restore my apps & data. Can't figure it out in device settings, can't figure it out in Google One, can't figure it out anywhere or anyhow. And Google did not automatically restore my data to my new phone upon account setup, despite a back-up I did on my old phone the previous day.
