Backup & photos

The photos on your phone are probably the files you would hate to lose, and they are also the ones people tell me disappeared after a phone upgrade. These episodes compare the common backup choices, including iCloud, Google, and Amazon, and they cover how to share pictures with family without sending the same fifty texts. I am particular about backups because I have seen what happens when there is only one copy. You do not need a complicated setup. You need a copy that lives somewhere other than the phone in your hand, and a way to check that it is actually working. Start with the episode that matches where your pictures live now, then make sure a second copy exists before the next trip or the next new phone.
