Common mistakes that cause photos to disappear

Many people don't lose photos by accident... but by habits that constantly put them at risk.
Here are some mistakes you should avoid:

• Using cleaning apps without checking settings
  Some delete “duplicate” or “unnecessary” photos without asking.
• Change cell phone without making a backup
  When you install the new device, many images are left behind on the old one or are lost during the transfer.
• Do not activate cloud synchronization
  If backup isn't enabled, photos live only on the device… and can disappear in seconds.
• Save photos only on WhatsApp or social networks
  Images there are often compressed, and if you delete the app or change your number, you could lose everything.
• Format cards or cell phones without making a manual copy
  Irreversible action if there is no prior support.
