Keep a copy of what you would miss
Lose a phone without losing its photos.
A backup is a second copy of your photos and files, kept somewhere other than the device.
Then the device is only a device. Losing it costs money, not memories.
Key points
- A second copy, kept away from the device
- Automatic is the only kind that reliably happens
What to remember
- A backup you have to remember is one you will forget.
- A backed-up device is a thing you can replace.
Try this
Open Settings on your phone, find Backup, and read the date of the last one.
