How Do I Use WordBoard Cloud Backups?
WordBoard backs up your keys to your own iCloud Drive, so you can get them back on a new phone, after reinstalling, or on another device.
How backups work
- WordBoard saves a backup automatically after you change your keys, one backup per device per day.
- You can also save one any time: go to More → Cloud Backups and tap Back Up Now.
- The Cloud Backups row in Settings shows when your keys were last backed up.
- Backups include your images, folders and colours.
- Backups live in your private iCloud. We can't see or access them.
iCloud needs to be on. If it's off, the Cloud Backups row says "iCloud is off". Turn it on in the Settings app → [your name] → iCloud → iCloud Drive, and make sure WordBoard is allowed.
Restore your keys
- Open WordBoard and sign in to the same Apple Account you used before.
- If you have WordBoard Pro, restore your purchase first. Restoring backups is part of Pro.
- Go to the More tab and tap Cloud Backups.
- Backups from this phone are under This Device, and backups from your other iPhones and iPads are under Other Devices. Each one shows the device name and date. Tap the one you want.
- Choose Merge Backup to add those keys to the keys you already have, or Delete All Keys & Restore Backup to replace your current keys with the backup.
Not sure which to pick? Merge Backup is the safe choice. It never deletes anything.
Setting up WordBoard again? When you first open it, WordBoard looks for your iCloud backups and offers Restore My Keys, so you may not need these steps at all.
