Swift Backup
What a Wi-Fi backup keeps
Swift Backup reads the Wi-Fi networks saved on your phone and keeps each one with its password.
- Saved networks and their passwords
- Enterprise networks. Make a fresh backup of networks that work to include their CA certificates.
- Hidden networks. Restart your phone after the restore so they connect.
Wi-Fi backups are encrypted.
What you need on each Android version
A Wi-Fi backup needs root. On Android 11 and later, Shizuku works too.
| Android version | Back up | Restore |
|---|---|---|
| Android 8 and 9 | Root | All networks at once, no root needed |
| Android 10 | Root | One network at a time, even with root |
| Android 11 and later | Root or Shizuku | All at once with root or Shizuku. One at a time without them. |
How a restore works
All at once: Swift Backup hands the networks you picked to Android. Android may take a few moments to add them all.
One at a time: Tap a backed up network and choose Restore. Swift Backup copies its password. In the Wi-Fi dialog that opens, pick the network and paste the password.
Why Android 10 can't restore all networks at once is explained in Common issues.
Where Wi-Fi backups go
Keep them on your phone, upload them to your cloud or both. Cloud backups of Wi-Fi networks are free with a Google account. Premium schedules can back them up on the days you choose.
The Advanced password option adds your own password to app, message and call log backups. It isn't used for Wi-Fi backups.
