Backup Your Data | ||||||||||
Make sure you backup all of your important files before you download the Android 10 beta on your Galaxy S10. Unexpected data loss can occur during the beta program. So if you store irreplaceable files on your phone, you'll want to make sure your data is backed up properly before you tap install. There are a few ways to do this. You can use Samsung's Smart Switch or you can use the company's Samsung Cloud solution to back up your data automatically. You can also use it to manually backup your files. To access Samsung Cloud, head into your device's Settings > Accounts and backup . If you don't have a Samsung account you'll need to create one. There are also a bunch of solid third-party apps out there. Super Backup & Restore is one of our favorites, but check the Google Play Store for others. | ||||||||||
