iCloud Backups are a method for storing and backing up data from your iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads, to Apple’s secure cloud storage service, iCloud. Family offers iCloud Backup as an option to store a backup of your wallet by encrypting your Secret Recovery Phrase or Private Key. By using iCloud backups, you can ensure that your data is safely stored and easily accessible across multiple devices in the case of device loss or damage.
How to backup your wallet with iCloud
To create an iCloud backup of your wallet, Family will prompt you to select a custom password. This password will be used both for backing up your wallet to iCloud and for restoring it in the future. Here’s how:
- Tap your wallet, then tap the
icon to reveal a drop-down menu. - Tap Wallet Settings.
- In your Wallet Settings, select Backup.
- Select iCloud Backup.
- You will then receive a prompt to reveal your Secret Recovery Phrase with Face ID. Be aware to never share your Secret Recovery Phrase with anyone else. If you lose it, we can’t recover it.
- You can now store an encrypted version of your Secret Recovery Phrase on iCloud.
- Enter your password to add your new wallet to your current iCloud Backup.
