Have you ever feared losing your phone data—your photos, videos, contacts, and all else? You’re not alone. We depend on our phones for nearly everything. That’s why having a backup is so vital. But what if you don’t wish to make use of cloud storage or complicated software?
Here’s the best part: Xender allows you to back up your phone to another device with ease. No cables, no internet, and no complex procedures. Simply download Xender on both devices, and you are good to go.
Why Use Xender for Phone Backup?
Xender is not merely a file-transfer app. It also has a clever answer to duplicate or mirror your phone content to another device. That is, transfer your content to a new phone or simply make a copy as backup. Easy, quick, and safe.
Let’s demystify how it functions.
Preparations Before You Begin
Before you initiate the backup process, ensure:
- Xender is installed on both phones
- There’s sufficient storage on the receiving device
In case the receiving device lacks sufficient space, the transfer will either fail or get interrupted midway. Always prioritize checking storage.
Backup Between Two Android Devices
If you possess two Android phones, backing up data using Xender is not a big deal.
How to:
Both Android phones connect
- Launch Xender on both devices. Connect them the same way you would for any file transfer.
- Tap on the name or icon of the connected device
- When you are already connected, tap on the name or icon of the other phone on your screen.
Tap “Import Friend’s Data.”
- A menu will appear. Tap on the option that says “Import Friend’s Data.”
Allow transfer to the other phone
- You will see a prompt on the second phone. Tap Accept or Authorize to start.
Select data to import
- Now tap on the data types, photos, contacts, apps, messages, or files.
Press Save to initiate the transfer
- Once you’ve chosen the data, press Save, and the backup process will start. It may take a few minutes, depending on the amount of data you’re transferring.
That’s it! Your data is now securely backed up on another Android device.
Backup Between iOS and Android Devices
Data backup between Android and iOS was once such a chore. But not with Xender.
Here’s what you do:
Link both Android and iOS phones through Xender
Open Xender on both phones and establish a link between them.
Click the device name or icon
Tap on the name of the other device after it has connected to open the sharing menu.
Choose the data to transfer
Select the kind of data you wish to transfer from one phone to the other.
Authorize the transaction
On the other device, a prompt will come up. Click OK or Allow.
Start the transfer
Once authenticated, the backup will proceed. The files will be transferred to the receiving device.
Tip: Certain types of data, such as apps, will not be transferred from iOS to Android or vice versa because of system constraints. But personal data such as photos, videos, and contacts will transfer seamlessly.
Final Thoughts
Xender is not only about sharing memes or songs with your mates. It is a great backup tool that assists you in keeping your data safe. Switching phones or simply having a copy of your data spare, Xender does it all in just minutes. You don’t require any cables, cloud accounts, or technical expertise. Only two devices, sufficient storage, and some taps. Easy as pie.
