One Area Android Falls Short of iOS

Android Cry

As powerful as the Android platform is, one area it still falls short is a small but important one. 聽Despite the fact Android rival, iOS has had the functionality for quite some time, Android still lacks a native solution for backing up your device. 聽iOS gives their users the ability to back their devices up using iTunes. 聽This means that in the event of a data loss or even a device replacement, iOS users can simply do a restore and once again have access to all their data. 聽Android users on the other hand, have it a bit tougher. 聽In the event of a data loss situation, Android users are up the proverbial creek without a paddle. 聽True enough, it is possible to create a backup on Android using various methods involving root. 聽The problem with this is, the average person doesn’t get involved with rooting their devices, and thus don’t have access to those solutions. 聽As far as Android has come since its beginning, it has made very little progress in this department. 聽There is no reason an Android user shouldn’t be able to backup their devices should they wish to. 聽Hopefully in the future, Google will finally add this much needed functionality to the Android platform.
