If you think no it's impossible, think again. Imagine if someone can restore your data in their phone, and then they were identified as you, imagine the horror. However, as the user's data, they cannot. On Android, where does the app save all of user configurations and files?ĭata needs to be separated between application data (config, everything that is not stored any customer/user/client information) and user's data (login sessions, anything that might compromise customer/user/client information).įor most application data, it can be safely assumed, google, huawei, or any third party software, can back it up, stores it in any kind of their backup storage (cloud, ftp, you name it), and restores it as they wished. That data belongs to the user and as such only the user should decide whether it needs to be backed up or not, just how it is in iOS. I don't understand why App Developers should have a say in whether the user specific data that they collect and store in their working directories should be part of the backups. The user doesn't have to worry about any of these things as the system handles EVERYTHING automatically. And this includes crucial apps like Banking apps too.ĭuring the restore process, the system downloads the apps automatically from the Store that comes with the entire database, libraries and other files that the app needs to run properly, which isn't part of the backup. So that when the user restores a backup, everything simply works like nothing happened. On iOS, the backup doesn't include apps' own data (those that are required for the app to run properly), instead only the data that the app has collected from the user, such as settings, login credentials, etc.
