Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold - Google Backup and Restore

Here's how to ensure your Gmail, contacts, apps, etc. are backed up on your Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Open the

Settings app

Navigate:

System

Backup

If prompted, select the data you want to back up (Photos & videos, Other device data, or both) then tap

Confirm

If 'Other device data' is on, do any of the following:

To turn off, tap

Backup by Google One

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

To change accounts, tap

Account storage

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

To turn photo and video backup on or off, tap

Photos & videos

from the Backup details section then tap the

Backup switch

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 phone or after a reset.
