Having a backup of your Google account is important. It keeps your photos, apps and other data safe. Your Android smartphone is most likely your central device having all your important data. While most phones will automatically backup your data, you can check it manually on your device.
To do so, go to your phone’s Settings app. Head to Google and then tap on Backup. If the Backup to Google toggle is not on by default, turn it off. This will enable your phone’s data backup on the Google account linked to your device.
