dude, phones have built-in functions to transfer data seamlessly, i helped my dad with that a while back and it amounts to pressing some buttons and putting the phones on top of each other…
if that’s too difficult i think you need a personal assistant.
I think it’s only available on stock OSes, it’s one of those things we tech nerds sacrifice for freedom.
But for the kind of person who uses a period app connected to the internet, yeah that’s not a problem lmao.
fwiw there are apps to make migrating easier on custom OSes as well, a quick search shows at least BARIA on f-droid.
Phones get lost, stolen, damaged beyond repair. I knew a woman whose phone fell into a body of water on vacation and couldn’t be recovered.
When you have an app used by millions of people, which they depend on for tracking wellness, health issues, reproductive planning, etc. it makes sense to have a cloud backup for those inevitable situations.
Also yes, not everyone knows how to initiate an NFC file transfer, or even how to navigate their phone’s file system to select the data to transfer. You often have to develop software to the lowest common denominator. There’s open source options like Mensinator for people who want more control and privacy, but most software on the app store is targeted at less technical people.

You can what?! I’ve been using a USB drive…
Not that I’m complaining, the USB is easy enough, but of what wizardry do you speak?

Oh cool I’ll check out Baria, thanks!
Why are you being so condescending?
