Back up your phone photos

Copy your photos to cloud storage or a computer.

Why it helps

Phones get lost, dropped and stolen, and photos are usually irreplaceable. A backup takes minutes and protects years of memories.

How to do it

1. Open your phone's backup or cloud settings.
2. Turn on photo backup or copy photos to a computer.
3. Check that the latest photos appear in the backup.
