3 Easy Ways To Recover Data After A Factory Reset On Android

Call history, contacts, and device settings are automatically set to back up if the backup option is enabled.

Backup of photos and videos will only occur on Wi-Fi unless you tap on the toggle switches next to Photos and Videos under “Cellular Data Back Up”. This can use up a lot of data, so it is typically recommended to not enable this option.

This will backup your data to your main Google account. If you would prefer, you can change to a different account by tapping on Account under Back up now and selecting any other accounts you have attached to your phone. If you are running an older version of Android, then your menu layout may look slightly different, but the process should be similar.

Alternatively, you can also tap on the checkboxes to select which data to restore, such as which apps, call history, or device settings.

It is recommended that you install the free trial before paying for the software as not all data is recoverable. The free trial will allow you to preview which files are recoverable, but you will need to pay for the software to recover the files. The sooner you act after factory resetting your phone, the more likely you will be able to recover your lost data. There are several other recovery programs of varying quality. MobiSaver has good reviews and is pretty easy to use. Caution is always recommended before installing and using recovery software. The general process is similar regardless of the program that you use.

Warning: Rooting your phone can void your warranty, and cause permanent damage to your phone if it is not done correctly. These steps are for advanced users only. Follow at your own risk.

Allow the software time to scan your files. The time it takes will vary based on your hardware and how much data can be recovered. It is recommended that your phone is charged before starting this process.

The transfer process may take awhile if you have a lot of media on your Android.
