Move to a new phone

Take your habits with you using an export file, or with a Premium cloud backup that merges into the new phone.

Updated

Your habits live on your phone, so move them before you switch.

With an export file (free)

  1. On the old phone: Settings › Data & backup › Export to a file, and save the file somewhere you can reach from the new phone (email, Files, a cloud drive).
  2. On the new phone: install BeHabit, then Settings › Data & backup › Import from a file.

Import merges, so it’s safe even if you’ve already added habits on the new phone.

With Premium sync

  1. On the old phone: open Settings › Data & backup › Backup & restore and check it says you’re backed up (or tap Back up now).
  2. On the new phone: sign in with the same account. With Sync automatically on, your habits come in by themselves; you can also tap Restore from backup.

See Back up, sync and restore with Premium. If you bought Premium, use Restore purchase on the new phone too.

Widgets and reminders

Widgets aren’t moved by your phone’s transfer. Add them again on the new phone. Reminders come back with your habits once notifications are allowed.
