Keep a copy of the records that matter.
Finance by Lio uses locally stored working records. Manual backup and restore help when preparing to change devices or recover a previously exported copy.
Before you begin: The exact menu names, export format, restoration behavior and cloud-storage choices need verification against your installed app build. The steps below describe the intended workflow, not unverified button labels.
Before changing phones
- Open Finance by Lio on the original device and locate its Backup & Restore feature.
- Create a manual backup using the destination available in the installed app.
- Confirm that the backup file has been created and that you can access it.
- Keep the file in a location you control. Treat exported financial records as sensitive information.
On the new phone
- Install the same or a compatible newer signed version of Finance by Lio.
- Make the backup file available to the new device.
- Use the app's Restore feature to import the backup, following in-app confirmations.
- Check your wallets, transactions and obligations for completeness before deleting anything from the original phone.
Important distinctions
Manual backup is not automatic cloud synchronization. Saving a file to Google Drive or another chosen location, if supported by the installed build, does not turn Finance by Lio into an online financial-record database. Backup contents, encryption and overwrite handling must be checked before the final instructions are published.
