Therefore, creating regular backups and knowing how to restore them is essential to safeguard your data.
In this guide, you'll learn four effective ways to conduct iQOO backup and restore, using iQOO Cloud Backup, Google account, USB connection, and the professional tool. Whether you want an automatic cloud backup or a local computer copy, there's a suitable method for you.
iQOO Cloud Backup (also known as vivo Cloud) is the official service that allows you to back up your phone data to the cloud and restore it later. It can back up contacts, messages, photos, settings, and even app data automatically once you enable it.

Step 3. Tap "Cloud Backup" and enable automatic or manual backup.
Step 4. Choose the data types you want to back up (Contacts, Messages, Photos, etc.).
Step 5. Tap "Back Up Now" to start uploading your data to the cloud.
To restore your backup:
Step 1. Log in to the same vivo/iQOO account on your device.
Step 2. Go to "Settings" > "vivo/iQOO Cloud" > "Backup and Restore".
Step 3. Select the previous backup file and tap "Restore". Wait until the restoration is complete.

If you prefer to keep your data within the Google ecosystem, you can use your Google account to back up and restore your iQOO phone. It automatically backs up app data, call history, contacts, device settings, and SMS messages to Google Drive. This method is convenient if you're switching devices or performing a factory reset, as it automatically restores backed-up settings and app data.

Step 2. Enable the toggle for "Back up to Google Drive".
Step 3. Sign in with your Google account if you haven't already.

Step 2. After the reset, restart your phone.
Step 3. When prompted during setup, sign in with the same Google account.
Step 4. Choose the latest backup to restore your data.

Step 2. Choose the "File Transfer (MTP)" mode on your phone.
