Encrypted backup and restore in Block Guard

Block Guard now has a much deeper backup flow than a simple list export. You fit create encrypted backups, preview exactly what na included, and choose whether call settings, text settings, and message history should be part of di file.

Backup matters when you have spent time tuning rules, building lists, and setting up messaging. Di current app na designed to move wey setup to a new phone without forcing you to rebuild it from scratch.

What you fit include in a backup

  • Call protection settings such as blocking rules, lists, and related preferences.
  • Text protection settings such as text-blocking rules and messaging-related preferences.
  • Message history when you explicitly choose to include it.

How export works

  • Backups na encrypted with a password you create.
  • di app previews what will be included before di export happens.
  • You fit use presets such as Recommended or Everything.
  • If you include messages, Block Guard warns you wey message content na being added to di encrypted file.

How restore works

  • di app previews di backup date, version, categories, and message count before restoring.
  • You fit restore only di categories present in di backup file.
  • You fit choose a settings-only style restore or restore everything wey di backup contains.
  • Restore fit overwrite di current data in di categories you select, so di review step matters.
