Where Applications, Data, and Files are Stored
Your phone uses these storage types.
● Apps and data storage. Apps are installed to this storage, labeled as Internal storage
in your phone settings. It also stores data such as your text messages, contacts you
created or synchronized to your phone, account settings, and more. This storage is
managed and carefully guarded by your phone since it contains your private information.
When you connect your phone to your computer, this storage is not accessible from your
computer.
Storage contents will be erased when you do a factory reset. Make sure to back up your
data before starting a factory reset.
● File storage. This is another built-in storage, labeled as Phone storage in your phone
settings. This is where you can store your files. When you connect the phone to your
computer and you selected Media sync mode, this storage is accessible and you can
copy files between them. When you do a factory reset, you can choose whether to keep
or erase the storage contents.
● Storage card. If you installed a microSD card, you can store your files such as photos,
music, and videos to this removable storage. When you connect your phone to your
computer, this storage is accessible and you can copy files between them. See
Card for more information.
Note: The default storage for your files, whether it's the Phone storage or your storage card,
may vary from app to app. Some apps allow you to set the default storage.
Encrypt Data on Your Phone
You can encrypt data such as your online accounts, settings, music files and other media. After
encryption, you will need to enter the screen lock PIN or password to turn on your phone and
access the data.
Important: Set a lock screen PIN or password before encrypting your data.
Fully charge the battery and keep your phone connected to the power adapter
during encryption. The encryption process takes about an hour.
