How Do I Create a Backup and Restore from a Backup?

Updated over 2 months ago

When backing up the VSCO app, this includes backing up all photos that have been imported into VSCO, any edits made to the photos, your recipes, favorited presets and your preset and toolkit preferences.

Apple / iOS

If you have iCloud backup enabled, the backup will be performed daily as long as your device is connected to a Wifi signal.

If you decide to backup your device using iTunes, we highly recommend backing up your iOS device on a regular basis in case your device is ever replaced, lost, or damaged.

If you have changed to a new or different iPhone you will need to first backup your old device to iCloud or iTunes and then restore the backup on the new device.

iCloud backup

Launch the iOS Settings app and tap on your AppleID/iCloud profile.

This is the first option at the very top of iOS Settings.

If this is not labelled 'On', tap on this option.

Enable iCloud Backup on the next screen.
