Phone Backup Strategies: Protecting Your Data

Losing photos or contacts stings—backups prevent that, especially before selling. Here’s how to secure your data.

Cloud: iCloud (iOS) or Google Drive (Android) auto-backup photos, apps—5GB free, $3/month for 50GB. Local: Plug into a PC—iTunes for iPhones, Android File Transfer for others—saves everything offline. Frequency: Weekly, or before repairs/sales. Test restores to confirm.

Before consigning, reset your phone (Settings > Reset). Fixsellr wipes data post-backup, ensuring security—a $300 sale with $40 repairs nets you $221 (85%). No data, no worries.

Backup Basics:

  • Encrypt sensitive files.
  • Use Wi-Fi for big uploads.
  • Keep passwords handy.

Back up smart—your data’s safe, your sale’s smooth.
