Tech News You Can Now Backup Your Contacts And Call Histories Easily On The Latest Truecaller Update

I am sure you wouldn't like to get stranded when you loose all your phone contacts as a result of not having a backup for it. It's one of the painful things that can happen to anyone because you will loose business colleagues, family members, friends etc in the process. So to avoid that regrettable scenario, you need to create a contact backup on your phone.

While there are many methods of creating contacts backups on Android, I am glad to let you know that popular caller ID app - Truecaller has added this exclusive feature to its app.

The latest update for Truecaller Android app now adds a contact backup feature that allows you create a secured backup of your phone contacts, settings, call history and logs to your Gmail account. You can choose to restore the backup anytime with the backup and restore wizard.

This feature will be very useful to you when switching to a new phone, getting a new SIM card, or resetting your device.
With the Truecaller backup, you will seamlessly transfer all your contacts from one Android device to the other without much stress.

HOW IT WORKS?
This feature works by creating a private folder on your Google Drive to store the backed up files. For security concerns, Truecaller claimed it doesn't have access to the folder containing the contacts that were backed up. So shouldn't be scared of any third party access to it.

HOW TO ACTIVATE TRUECALLER CONTACT BACKUP
* First, head over to playstore and update your Truecaller app
* launch it and enable the feature via the wizard or within the app settings
* Then select your Google account where you want the backup to be stored

And it will be done.
