Cloud Backup

Wouldn't it be nice to backup all your profile details and messages; restoring from a cloud backup when you reinstall or change devices?

Stay tuned!

    I clicked on backup by mistake before restoring the old one and not my backup is just few new messages. I have 9mb on my iCloud. How can I backup the old backup? Is there a way to do that??

    There’s a lag when you delete a message and sometimes I accidentally delete the one after it- (admittedly because I usually delete the ads)

    It would be much more effortless if you could add the option to back up on Google Drive using an iOS device.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    There is no way to backup to google drive now, it's all on local sd, meaning if you lose that device or it stops function, you cannot use that backup to a new device ie, an android. You can only backup on that one device and recover from that one device. Not a new android. What a really really dumb way of implementing something new. Of course they never said anything about this in their FAQ's or updates. :)

    Yes, i totally agree with this beaut idea. as for some reason since i installed grindr on my laptop i cant use my grindr on my samsung s8 anymore,so now with only being able to use the laptop im unsure of whom ive had prevous communications with or there name etc.

    Daniel's correct. There is already.
    On iOS they're stored in a transparent, handily searchable, sqlite database.

    Chase: obviously, I can't speak for Grindr, but as of the original implementation, this is not possible. Both use a "hidden" feature of the cloud systems, such that only the developer can see the contents of the backup, and the cloud backups are not platform-independent.

    I have an iPhone and when I used this backup feature, it is telling me that it was successfully backed up. But I don't see the backup file in my iCloud. I am switching to an Android and wanted to transfer the backup from iCloud to Googlr Drive but how if the backup is never in iCloud? Is there a way or am I oing it wrong or is this possible?

  • Jesse commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Keep it simple! Always install everything on a SD card. No transfer or reinstall required. Just switch the card over and let it update for the new device. Should happen automatically if on wifi.

  • Daniel commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    actually there is. If you backup your device before getting your new one, and the restore your old device to your new device (unless you're going from Android to Apple or Apple to Android, then your messages will still be available.
