Make A Backup First
Make sure you’ve properly backed up your personal data before you reset your phone. When you have a big problem, your device is being repaired or being traded in, or both, you must perform a hard reset.
With a hard reset, you wipe all the information on your smartphone. You should therefore create a backup first. You won’t lose your contacts, images, or apps if you do it this way. The data can be stored in the cloud. Making a backup with Google is as easy as following the listed steps:
Step 1: Launch ‘Google Drive’ and navigate to ‘Settings’.
Step 2: Make a backup.
Step 3: Now, download Google photos and make a backup.
Step 4: Then, open Google photos and turn on backup.
