If you do pay to gain extended monthly cloud storage, you are now able to back up your device and restore without needing to dive into individual app settings and using multiple backup services to save your photos, contacts, videos, and MMS messages - so long as you have a Google One subscription.Įxternal messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger will still need to be backed up externally but can be linked directly to your Google Drive account for easier backup and restoring of important data. The backup and restore process for your Android phone or tablet is now a whole lot easier if you are a Google One subscriber.
