Was this helpful?

Here's how to ensure your Gmail, contacts, apps, etc. are backed up on your Galaxy J3 V / Galaxy J3.

Open the

Settings app

Navigate:

Accounts and backup

Backup and restore

Tap the

Back up my data switch

to turn on or off.

If it's turned off, existing backups are deleted from Google's servers.

To change the backup account, tap

Backup account

then tap the preferred Google™ (Gmail™) account or tap Add account.

Tap

Automatic restore

to turn on or off.

Backups can't be restored from a higher Android™ version onto a phone with a lower Android version.

When a Google account is added to your phone, previous backups are restored. This can be done by adding an existing Google account to your already active phone or by signing in to the same Google account while setting up your new or reset phone.
