Keep your photos safe (back them up)

Your photos hold your memories. Faces, places, and happy days. If your phone is lost or breaks, those photos could be gone. A backup is a free copy kept safe online. Then you never have to worry. Even a brand new phone can get them all back.

Buddy’s tip

Stay on wifi while it works. This saves your phone data. The first copy can take a while. Sometimes it takes an hour or more. That is normal. Just leave your phone alone. Let it finish. It works best while plugged in and charging.

Backup means a free copy of your photos is kept safe online. If your phone is ever lost or breaks, your photos are still safe. You can sign in on a new phone. Then you get them all back. You did a kind thing for future you.
