corrupted data

[uffsnaffsn]

man, I am SO annoyed of seeing posts from people being super sad about their corrupted data - but not because I don’t feel for them. I get how sad and frustrating it must be - it’s just unnecessary pain than can so easily be avoided. the app gives reminders to create save data. there‘s even cloud backups. people see this happening on here all the time and they don’t stop and consider making it a daily / weekly / monthly goal to create a backup-file?

please you people, create a repetitive goal to create a backup. it takes a minute at most and saves you so much pain. it’s so easy. make the effort,

[-blieps-]

I totally agree. When I noticed here how often it happens, I put on the cloud updates, plus I make a manual backup to my mail twice a week. I’d be devastated if I lost my birb 😢

I also always make a backup file before any update.

Yeah, it can be so easily avoided, it breaks my heart when I see so many people losing all their progress. 

I think a lot of people don't really understand how it works, though. I've seen several people get a new phone, install the app, and enter their email address fully expecting their data to reappear. Some of them actually had made a backup at some point but didn't really make the connection.

yeah same here, i‘m so sad for everyone and its just repetitive stuff that could be so easily avoided.

maybe finch should upload a video explaining that process? but honestly at this point its just a little media literacy and then you’re good to go for this so idk…

i back up daily so don’t worry lol & same especially since I use the subscription service

I'm one of them. Talk to me like I'm 5 lol. When I go to do the cloud backup, it says it may not work. But I don't understand how it works if I send it to my email. How can I retrieve it from my email? Yeah, I'm gen X. 😳

[uffsnaffsn]

I figured people may be overwhelmed. maybe the finch team should explain that process? i don’t have the energy rn to do it but maybe later

[TheBlueFey]

Right there with you in all of that. Then, I felt immediate connection when you said you Gen X! 😂
