Backing Up Your Data
Creating a backup ensures that your important information is safe, even if unforeseen issues occur during transfer. Use Huawei’s official backup options for best results.
Using Huawei Cloud
Huawei Cloud offers seamless backup options for contacts, photos, messages, and app data. Access the backup feature through Settings > Huawei ID > Cloud, and follow the prompts to back up your data.
Using a Computer

Transferring Data to Your New Device
Once backed up, transfer your data to your new device. You can do this via cloud services, direct cable transfer, or using Huawei’s transfer tools.
Using Huawei Phone Clone
Huawei’s Phone Clone app allows easy data transfer between devices. Install Phone Clone on both devices, connect them over Wi-Fi, and follow the prompts to transfer contacts, photos, apps, and more.
Using Cloud Backup
Restore data from your Huawei Cloud backup on your new device by signing into your Huawei account and selecting the restore option during setup.
Erasing Data from Your Huawei Mate 60
After confirming that your data has been safely transferred, erase all personal information from your device to protect your privacy before selling.
Performing a Factory Reset

Removing Your Huawei Account
Before resetting, remove your Huawei account by navigating to Settings > Huawei ID > Sign Out. This helps prevent account linking issues for the new owner.
