# Back up, sync and restore with Premium

> Sync your habits to your account automatically, or back up when you choose, and restore on any phone. Sync merges, so nothing on the phone is deleted.

With Premium, your habits sync to your account and you can restore them on any phone.

## Sign in

Open **Settings › Data & backup › Backup & restore** and choose **Sign in or create an account**. Use Sign in with Apple (iPhone), Sign in with Google, or an email and password (at least 8 characters). The account is only used for backup, sync and shared habits.

## Sync automatically

With **Sync automatically** on, BeHabit saves your habits and check-ins to the cloud as you go and brings in changes from your other devices. Only what changed is sent, so it stays quick even with a long history.

## Back up now

Tap **Back up now** to save a copy straight away, for example before you switch phones.

## Restore

Tap **Restore from backup**. The backup is **merged** into the phone: nothing on the phone is deleted, and where the same item was changed in both places, the newer edit wins. A phone that was offline for a while never overwrites newer work.

Because it merges, a habit you deleted on the phone comes back if it’s still in the backup.

Restoring an existing backup works for any signed-in account. New backups need Premium.

## Sign out or delete your account

Tap your account at the top of Settings. **Sign out** keeps your habits on the phone. **Delete account** removes your cloud backup and shared habits; habits on this phone stay. See [Delete your account](https://behabit.app/delete-account).
