User Reviews
Fantastic—much better than Titanium Backup. I went ahead and purchased the lifetime premium version; plus, it receives frequent updates.
An excellent app. It perfectly solves the issue where Google Drive cannot be accessed when using an SS (Shadowsocks) proxy—the software routes backups to Google Drive via HTTP. You can also choose whether or not to include app data in your backups.
I think this app is superb; it has a beautiful interface and powerful features. I’ve completely ditched Titanium Backup for it.
This app is incredible! It supports a wide range of cloud storage services—Google Drive and many others—and handles backups for apps, SMS, and call logs.
Conclusion
Swift Backup goes beyond simply backing up APK files, SMS, call logs, and current wallpapers; it cleverly combines deep, root-level device backups with highly flexible storage options. For advanced Android users willing to set up root access or Shizuku, it serves as a reliable alternative to the classic, power-user-focused backup tools of the past.
