For iPhone and iPad alike, have you ever tried using iCloud automatic backup? If not then you should try to keep you data safe using iCloud automatic backup. It is all worth it! Surely, keeping your data intact is becoming a necessity now with the new era of technology. We all know that Samsung is boasting their Smart Switch to move files between phones to keep your data continuously safe and secured.

The backup and restore function of the iPhone is very important in documenting and keeping track of your communications. That is why the iCloud feature was introduced to automatically back up the iOS device information through wi-fi whenever it is turned on, locked and once it is connected to a power source. The objective of data safekeeping for Apple is not really far from Samsung Smart Switch benefits, but we will be talking more about iCloud automatic backup in this article.
