Realme: Switch the Google Backup Account

Realme UI saves your automatic backup under whichever Google account is set in the backup menu, not automatically the one you use most.

If you added a second Google account later, or want photos and app data to land somewhere else, you need to change that selection yourself.

Where to change the backup account

Open Settings ➔ Additional settings ➔ Back up and reset ➔ Backup accounts ➔ Choose a Backup account.

Every Google account currently signed in on your phone shows up in this list. Tap the account you want to use going forward; Realme UI applies it immediately for the next automatic backup.

Backups already stored under the previous account stay where they are on Google's servers. Switching does not move or merge existing data, it only changes where future backups go.

If the account you need is missing from the list, add it to your phone first through the general account settings, then return here to select it.

Changing the backup account does not turn automatic backup off. If backups have stopped completely, check the toggle above the account list instead.
