How to Factory Reset Samsung Galaxy Phone Without Losing Data

• How to double tap to unlock the screen on Samsung phones

Factory resetting your Samsung Galaxy phone always makes you afraid of losing important data. But you don't need to back up to your computer or pay for expensive cloud services, because Samsung's temporary cloud backup feature will provide the perfect solution to this problem.

What is temporary cloud backup on Samsung Galaxy?

Before you factory reset your Samsung Galaxy phone, you'll want to make sure all of your data, including photos, videos, apps, settings, and more, is backed up. While Samsung Cloud backs up essential data like contacts, call logs, SMS messages, and apps, it doesn't store your device's photos, videos, and documents.

To create a complete backup, you'll need to use a third-party cloud storage service like Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. However, since both offer limited free storage—15GB for Google Drive and 5GB for OneDrive—you may need to purchase more. Alternatively, you can use a PC or external storage to back up your phone.

With Samsung's temporary cloud backup feature, you don't have to worry about any of that. It lets you securely store all the data on your Samsung Galaxy phone for free for up to 30 days. All you need is a Samsung account and a Galaxy phone running One UI 6 or later.

With this feature, you can safely back up your phone, factory reset it, and then restore your data easily. This feature is especially useful when switching to a new device or restoring your phone to fix problems.

Using temporary cloud backup on Samsung Galaxy

Using the temporary cloud to back up everything on your Samsung phone is pretty straightforward. But before you get started, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

• While there is no limit on the overall backup size, individual files cannot exceed 100 GB.
• Any files saved on your SD card will not be included in the backup.
• The backup won't include read-only contacts, chat history from instant messaging apps like WhatsApp, or locked notes in Samsung Notes.
• You can only restore data from the cloud up to 30 days after the backup.

Here's how to use temporary cloud backup to back up everything on your Samsung Galaxy phone:

1. Open the Settings app and scroll down to tap General management .
2. Go to Reset > Temporary cloud backup .
3. Click the Back up data button .
4. Use the checkboxes to select all the items you want to back up. Optionally, you can click Find out what data can't be backed up for more information.
5. Click Back up to start the process.

The backup process may take some time, depending on your Internet speed and the size of the backup.

Note : Samsung phones will need enough storage space to compress data locally before uploading to the cloud. If you see a "Not enough space on phone to create backup" message, try freeing up some storage space first.

Recover Samsung Phone Data After Factory Reset

Once the backup is complete, you can safely factory reset your Samsung phone as usual. During setup, you'll have the option to restore your data after signing in to your Samsung account.

However, if you skipped the restore option during setup or want to restore data on an already set up Galaxy phone, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app and go to General management > Reset .
2. Click Temporary cloud backup and select Restore data .
3. Use the check boxes to select the data you want to restore.
4. Finally, click on Restore data and wait for the process to complete.

That's it! Your Samsung Galaxy phone should be back to normal with all your important data restored.

There are a number of useful features on Samsung Galaxy phones that many people would like to see on other brands, but this is perhaps the most valuable. So the next time you factory reset your phone, whether you're selling it or troubleshooting it, be sure to take advantage of this handy feature.
