Samsung Galaxy J3 V / Galaxy J3 (3rd Gen.) - Google™ Backup and Restore

Here's how to ensure your Gmail, contacts, apps, etc. are backed up on your Galaxy J3 V / Galaxy J3.
Backups can't be restored from a higher Android™ version onto a phone with a lower Android version.
  1. From a Home screen, swipe up or down from the center of the display to access the apps screen.
    These instructions only apply to Standard mode and the default Home screen layout.
  2. Navigate:
    Settings Settings icon
    Accounts and backup
    Backup and restore
    .
  3. Tap
    Back up my data
     then tap the switch to turn on On switch icon or off Off switch icon.
    If it's turned off, existing backups are deleted from Google's servers.
  4. When turned on, ensure the appropriate account is listed in the Backup account field.
    To change the backup account:
    1. Tap
      Backup account
      .
    2. Tap the preferred account.
  5. Tap
    Automatic restore
     to turn on On switch icon or off Off switch icon.
When a Google account is added to your phone, previous backups are restored. This can be done by adding an existing Google account to your already active phone or by signing in to the same Google account while setting up your new or reset phone.
