If you have a smartphone, do you know the purpose of having a Gmail in your phone? I have noted so many people carry smartphones with robust functionalities but they do not utilize them at all. For instance, if you format your smartphone today, will you be able to get you photos and other documents in your phone?
About a week ago I flashed a smartphone of a person who had forgotten the pattern, he was unhappy for losing all the photos he had taken for the last 5 years. But, there was no any other way remaining for unlocking the smartphone. How many of us are like that man? The fact is, it is our ignorance that makes us loose our data.
When one buys a smartphone the first thing to do should be putting it an email with a known password. Secondly, set it such that photos and important documents are saved on the google photos app and google drive respectively (once you create a Gmail you are given 15GB storage space free, but many people do not know that. It’s sad to note that some people even uninstall google apps or disable them because they do not know their purpose.). All the data saved on those two apps are not lost even if the smartphone is lost or formatted. They can be accessed on any other smartphone or computer.
The email also helps one to trace where the phone is in case its lost (but remember if its flashed you can only get IMEI. And, why do people flash phones? It is either forgotten password or pattern, or possessing stolen phone. If you want to get your phone in case its stolen let it be pin less). Through the email you can get IMEI of your phone and its current location. You just login your email on another smartphone or computer and then google find my device (https://www.google.com/android/find)
The email also helps you to access google play store where you can download apps. If you have ever wondered why your phone is unable to install downloaded apps then check whether you have logged in your email.
