Back up or restore data on your Pixel device

You can back up content, data, and settings from your phone to your Google Account. You can restore your backed-up information to your new phone. Your photos, videos and contacts are synced to their respective services and are separate to device backups.

Important: Some of these steps work only on Android 9 and up. Learn how to check your Android version.

Automatically back up your device

Erase after backing up

After you back up, you can reset your device by erasing everything on it. Learn how to reset your device to factory settings.

Get your data onto a new device

Important: Both devices must be on the same Android version or your new device must be on a later Android version. If your new device is on an older Android version than your previous device, it may result in an incomplete data transfer. Learn how to check and update your Android version.
