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.

With the constant release of new cell phones, we tend to switch phones frequently. When that happens, you may choose to keep your old device as a backup. How do you store a cell phone that you may not be using for a long time?

To store your cell phone, charge it up to between 40% and 80%. Place it inside an airtight bag or a plastic, wooden, or glass container in a dry and dark spot at room temperature. To avoid deep discharge, charge the phone battery every three months.

In this article, we go over some essential tips on how to store a cell phone and how to keep your old phone healthy.
How to prepare a phone or tablet for long-term storage?

You can prepare your phone or tablet for long-term storage in three simple steps:
Step 1: Charge your phone battery

Start by charging your phone battery to between 50% and a maximum of 60%. Now, you must be wondering why not fully charge the device or fully discharge it?

That’s because a fully discharged device is always in danger of falling into a deep discharge state.

Once your phone battery is in a deep discharge state, it’s very difficult to recharge because the battery cells have built higher resistance. In some cases, a deep discharge renders the phone battery incapable of further usage.

On the flip side, storing a fully charged battery for an extended period of time can lead to a shortened battery life due to loss of capacity.
Step 2: Power off the device

We recommend powering off the device before storing it for a long time. This will prevent further battery use and keep it at optimum health for longer.
Step 3: store it at an optimal temperature

Batteries should always be stored in a cool and dry environment. The temperature should not be freezing cold or boiling hot. The optimum temperature for storing a phone or tablet is 90° F (32° C).

In some cases, removing the battery from your device is also recommended, but whether you should remove the battery or not depends on the device.

For example, some devices have a power consumption of 0 when they’re powered off, but sometimes, the battery is over-discharged and damaged when stored for months.
