Línea de trabajo

Start by reading how Camera stores and updates user settings, then check whether the app already has any settings export or backup flow. The request calls for automatic periodic backups, a user-chosen destination, and a configurable retention limit; clarify the expected behavior for each before implementation. Done means users can configure and use the agreed backup behavior when moving settings to another device.

Feature description

Hello,

I am a regular user of your app, and I am writing to suggest an improvement.

Currently, the app does not offer any feature for exporting or backing up user settings. However, when switching smartphones, this requires reconfiguring everything manually, with the risk of losing personalized settings.

I would therefore like to suggest two ways to improve this:

  1. Add a feature to back up settings - ideally one that runs automatically and periodically (with a frequency configurable by the user) - rather than just a simple manual export.
  2. Allow users to freely choose the destination folder for the backup file, to facilitate its integration into a personal backup workflow (local storage, cloud, ...).
  3. Allow to choose the maximum number of backups to keep.
Why do you want this feature?

These features would safeguard settings, save time, prevent forgetfullness, and simplify the process of switching to a new device.

If you want some ideas, I find really convenient the automatic settings backup of the app Signal, called "back up on this device" ;)

Thank you very much for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Best regards
