With iOS 11 or later, you can make a new encrypted backup of your device by resetting the password. Google One is available for free with 15GB of space or as a paid subscription with 100GB to 30TB of storage.You can’t restore an encrypted backup without its password. There is also no direct way to restore this data through the Google One app on your iPhone. Your apps, settings, and other items won’t be included. You can only back up your contacts, calendar, photos, and videos. Google One is another cloud storage option, but it comes with certain limitations for iPhone users. For example, my 512GB iPhone 14 Pro with around 190GB of data required more than 20GB of space on iCloud for its backup, so I needed the 50GB storage plan just to get started. The paid plans give you 50GB of storage for 99 cents a month, 200GB for $2.99 a month, or 2TB for $9.99 a month. Unfortunately, if your backup uses too much data, you may need to upgrade to a paid iCloud account.Īpple doles out 5GB of iCloud space for free. You can even back up to iCloud and restore the data directly from your phone, so you don't need to go through iTunes or Finder. If you use iCloud instead, your backup won’t be affected by computer problems, is automatically encrypted, and is available anywhere. The good news is that you can encrypt an iTunes or Finder backup if you want to back up your passwords, health information, and other sensitive data. If your computer crashes, there goes your backup. Using iTunes or Finder means you don't have to rely on the cloud, though it also means you can restore the backup only from the Apple account on your computer. Subscribers to the Google One (Opens in a new window) cloud storage service can also back up specific iPhone data, including contacts, calendar appointments, and photos. You can also bypass your computer entirely by backing up your phone to iCloud. If you’re running macOS Catalina or higher, turn to the Finder application. Windows users (and those running older versions of macOS) can back up their phone through iTunes or iCloud. How you back up your phone varies by platform. You can back up your iPhone, and then restore the data from that backup, when you need it most. You may also just want to back up certain data for safekeeping. Perhaps you're setting up a new phone and want to transfer all your current data. Maybe your phone is misbehaving and you hope to restore it to factory conditions and then apply the latest backup.
