Smart Switch is a Samsung application that can be used to install software updates for your phone, configure email syncing with Microsoft Outlook


Smart Switch can back up contacts, photos, application data, and any other local files on your phone. This makes moving between Galaxy phones a breeze; you can move all of your data to your new phone and pick up right where you left on the old device. The desktop applications take some setting up, but it's a straightforward process that only takes a few minutes.

So we will talk about how to take backup in computer

The process is simple

Navigate to the Samsung Smart Switch support website.

Click on the download link for Windows or Mac — whichever system you're using.
