Menu modern smartphone based on Android can greatly surprise the user who is holding such a device for the first time. Moreover, many menu items mean absolutely nothing. For example, does everyone know what synchronization is on a smartphone? Let's answer this question.

Data synchronization is the process by which the receiver synchronizes with the transmitter during data transmission. Simply put, this is the exchange of information between a smartphone and a server. For what? The server stores the most important data, which can be restored if lost. Want a simple example? Please: contacts linked to your Google account, which are synchronized between the smartphone and the server. They can be restored at any time; moreover, it is enough to log in on another device so that the contacts are downloaded from the server. If synchronization is not available, contacts must be transferred from one smartphone to another in another way.

In general, synchronization is enabled by default and we do not recommend disabling it. However, the peculiarity Android systems is that the user can independently choose what data can be synchronized.

First of all, turn on the Internet so that synchronization with the server is possible.

Go to settings.

Open the "Accounts" section.

Select your Google account.

And uncheck the “Auto-sync data” checkbox.
