This is not yet the case everywhere, and you may find some apps in your collection where this does not work.
#Data backup and restore update#
App developers need to integrate the functionality properly into their applications so that Google can reliably back up and update the app data. One thing is clear: The quality of Google's app data protection depends above all on the providers of the apps. However, if you set up a new phone with your Google Account backup, the app data is ideally transferred to your phone immediately after automatic installation. This directory stores the information about which app has saved your data on Google at what time, but unfortunately it's not accessible. In Google One you have an overview of your backups directly, and in the package you will find the item "Apps". You can see the active backup systems in this section.īackup to Google One should be toggled "on".In order to use it, you have to make sure that a backup system is enabled for your account - such as the cloud storage service Google One. For the majority of users, the best way to back up app data will be Google's own backup service, often enabled by default on Android. Google not only backs up photos, e-mails, contacts, and many other things, but also app data. Google's own backup is getting better and better Some apps allow access to app data via a debugging interface, and this is exactly the method the Helium app uses to export your app data, even without root access, and transfer it to your new phone. There's still a way to back up your app data, though. So, unless an app provides its own configuration backup method, your app data will be lost when you change smartphones.
Without special permission ( root access) it is hard to access the private directories of the old smartphone.
So that other apps can't access your private information, your app data is private - but this makes backups more difficult. These are stored in a separate directory.
