Updating your iPhone? Make sure it’s backed up!

Apple just announced the release of iOS 11. Before you get your hands on it and start playing around with the new features, you’ll need to go through the update process. Before you do this however, you’re going to want to make sure you have a full backup of your iPhone with IDrive, just in case something goes wrong.

Since this is the first version of a major software upgrade, there’s always a chance something may go awry. A full backup of your contacts, photos, videos, and calendar events can end up saving you a major headache down the road.

Luckily, backing up your iPhone using IDrive’s mobile application for iOS is simple and effective, so you can be sure that your mobile data is entirely secure and ready to be recovered in the event the update fails.

More features of IDrive’s mobile app that you’ll want to take advantage of are:

  • Social Media Backup – for photos and videos from Facebook and Instagram accounts
  • Cross Platform Compatible – backup your iPhone or iPad, and restore data to your Android phone and vice-versa
  • View and access files backed up from your PC, Mac, or other mobile devices

There’s always a chance that an update goes wrong, so make sure you take every precaution to ensure that you won’t be left stranded without your mobile information. Backup your iPhones with IDrive Online Backup before you begin the update, so you can focus on enjoying all the new features instead of scrambling to get your data back.
