If you need to back up data (e.g., app data, SMS text messages, device settings, etc.) on your Galaxy A51 using your Google™ account, follow these step-by-step instructions.
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 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
    Back up data
    .
  3. Tap the
    Backup by Google One
     to turn on Switch on or off Switch off.
    If 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 A
      account
      .
    2. Tap the preferred account.
