Setup wizard

After successfully logging in to your existing account, the application guides you in addition to the basic backup settings for contacts, SMS, phone call records, photos and videos from your phone on PhoneCopy, as well as setting up synchronization with your already existing backup on PhoneCopy. Follow the instructions.

Contacts sync

Allow access to contacts to back up contacts from your phone to PhoneCopy or restore contacts from your existing PhoneCopy backup to your phone.
select the account with the contacts you want to back up or synchronize on PhoneCopy, or to which the contacts from the PhoneCopy backup are to be restored. Then click Next button.

Note: If you select multiple accounts with contacts to backup or sync, you must select one of those accounts to create new contacts. Contacts from your PhoneCopy backup, which were previously created in the web interface or were backed up from another of your devices, will then be added to this account. In the case of a new phone, we recommend using a local "Phone" contact account.

Recommendation: If you select a Gmail account for backup or sync of contacts, we recommend that you simultaneously turn off the synchronization of contacts from this account with Google.

WARNING: If you want to RESTORE your contacts from the backup on PhoneCopy to your phone, we recommend that you choose only one account to which the contacts from your backup will be restored. This way you can prevent unwanted contact losses. Before restoring the backup from PhoneCopy, contacts are first deleted from all selected accounts for synchronization. You can add additional accounts with contacts for backup or sync later in the Sources settings.

Select a media recovery device

During synchronization with PhoneCopy, the backed up media from the selected devices will be created on your phone, in folders with the names of the individual selected devices from which they originate. These will be placed in the phone storage in folders according to their type, either in "Pictures" or "Movies".

In Android 13 and later, apps must ask the user for permission to send notifications.
In order for synchronization and backup to work properly, the application must display notifications. Without notifications, the app will not work properly.
On devices with older versions of Android, this step will not appear.

Allow the app to show notifications. Then the final screen of the setup wizard will appear.

To Restore your backed up of contacts, SMS or photos and videos from PhoneCopy to your phone, select Restore (Device ‹ PhoneCopy).
Contacts, SMS, photos and videos from PhoneCopy are copied to the device. Existing contacts and SMS on the device will be permanently deleted.
Tip: The action is also available later from the main menu.

If you have contacts or SMS on your new phone that you don't want to lose, use option Synchronize (device - PhoneCopy).
Contacts (and SMS) from the device will be merged with those backed up on PhoneCopy. If both sides contain identical contacts or SMS, these items may be duplicated.
Tip: To resolve duplicates, you can use our duplicate manager in the PhoneCopy web interface.

Select Later if you want to postpone the synchronization or restore the backup until later. The main screen of the application will appear.
