iPhone backups allow you to save and restore your valuable data including photos, messages, and other data across different Apple devices. iTunes (PC) backup and iCloud backup are the two types of backup methods for an iPhone.

All of your photos get backed up whenever you perform a full backup, whether you use iCloud or iTunes backup method. With iCloud, your photos are stored on a cloud server, whereas with an iTunes backup they are stored on a hard drive on your computer.

So what is the best way to backup photos from an iPhone?

Whenever you perform a backup of your iPhone, all of the pictures stored on the iPhone get backed up.

If you have used iCloud backup, you will be able to access your photos from your different apple devices because your photos will reside in a cloud server.

Moreover, you will also be able to see and access your backed-up photos on iCloud by visiting icloud.com.

However, iCloud backup only allows you to backup up to 5GB of data, including pictures, for free. If you need more storage, you’ll need to pay for more storage, or you will not be able to backup your photos.

For this reason, some people prefer using iTunes backup, which allows you to store even large backup files (e.g. lots of photos and videos) provided you have enough hard disk space on your computer. Also, there is no cost involved in iTunes backup.

However, unlike iCloud backup, you can0t see backed-up photos if you have performed an iTunes backup unless you use a backup extractor tool like dr.fone.
Where do my photos go when I backup my iPhone?

As discussed earlier, there are two methods of backing up pictures on an iPhone. If you use the iCloud backup method to backup your photos, all your photos get uploaded to a remote iCloud server online.

After uploading them to iCloud from your Apple device, you can access and download your photos by restoring the backup from the settings of your iPhone or directly downloading them from icloud.com on your other Apple devices.

On the other hand, if you use the iTunes backup method, you manually backup your data on your PC or Mac by connecting your iPhone to your computer.

While iCloud backup is the iPhone built-in feature for saving all your essential data on a daily basis, you may quickly hit its storage limit. Google Drive offers more storage space than iCloud, including for iOS users. It can also come in handy if switching from iOS to Android.

To backup your iPhone on Google Drive, you can install the Google Drive iPhone app and use the backup options under settings to create a backup of all your photos, videos, contacts and calendar events in Google Drive.

How do you find your iPhone backup on Google Drive? How do you move Google Drive backup to iCloud? Keep on reading.

To backup your iPhone to Google Drive, first install the Google Drive app from the App Store. Then follow these steps:

    Open the Google Drive app and sign in with your Google account.
    Tap on the menu in the top left corner of your screen.
    Tap Settings > “Backup”.
    Choose “Start Backup”

Google Drive will now start backing up your data on the iPhone.

A few points to keep in mind:

    Your phone must be continuously connected to the WiFi to complete the backup process.
    If you are backing up your device multiple times, it will rewrite the previous backups and only new items will be backed up (incremental).
    Contacts and calendars from third-party services like Facebook or Exchange will not backup in Google Drive.

Your Android phone plays system sounds whenever an event occurs such as a incoming call or notification. System sounds range from ringtones, notification sounds, alarms, and UI sounds. Where are they stored on your device?

Preloaded system sounds are stored in the /system/product/media/audio directory which contains a folder for each system sound type e.g. Ringtones, Notifications, Alarms, UI. Custom system sounds are stored in Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms folders inside Internal Storage.

Where is the default ringtone stored?

You typically select a ringtone among those that come preloaded with your phone. These ringtones are generally stored in /system/media/audio/ringtones. There might be slight variations among devices but preloaded ringtones are always stored within the /system directory.

On recent Tecno devices for example, ringtones are found in /system/product/media/audio/ringtones, in OGG format.

The /system directory is read-only unless the device is rooted. This means you can copy the sound files from the Ringtones folders, but not delete, move or add any file.

Not all file manager apps allow you to view the /system directory, and hence the Ringtones folder. You can install a file manager app from the Play Store that lets you view the default ringtones without rooting your phone.

Zedge is an app that can be used to download wallpapers, ringtones, app icons, and live wallpapers to customize your mobile the way you want. The app is available for both Android and iOS operating systems.

SUMMARY: is the Zedge app safe to use?

The Zedge app is safe to use & free from malware based on user experience to date. In 2019, however, Google Play Protect recommended deleting it due to potential malware. This led Zedge developers to take it down. Since then though, the app is back in the play store and considered safe to use.

Is Zedge a harmful app?

Zedge has over 460 million downloads on the Play Store and App Store combined. There are currently 30+ million active users of Zedge. It has been a popular wallpaper and ringtones app for a long time with few issues.

However, in 2019, Google Play Protect displayed a Zedge harmful notification that installing this application might harm their device. As a result, the developers of Zedge removed the app from the store for a while and scanned for malware and bugs.

Google did not explain why this happened, but it is suspected that the issue was due to the updated Google security filters.

Zedge has been made available again for users to download on the Play Store, indicating it’s safe to use. The app seems to be performing fine based on user feedback.
