Restoring your CostMe data on a new phone
New iPhone, and you don't want to lose months of resists, your savings total, and that hard-won streak. With a little setup, your history follows you.
You got a new phone. You do not want to lose months of resists, your savings total, and that hard-won streak. The good news: with a little setup, your CostMe history can follow you. Here is how to keep it safe and bring it across.
What you would hate to lose
Your lifetime savings number, your streak, your badges, and your logged history are the proof of your habit. Starting from zero on a new phone would sting. So protect them before you switch.
Before you switch phones
- Make sure you are signed in to your CostMe account, so your data is tied to you and not just the device.
- As a belt-and-braces backup, export a copy of your data so you hold it yourself.
- Keep that export file somewhere safe, like your cloud drive.
On your new phone
- Open costme.io in your browser and add it to your home screen. There is nothing to install from a store.
- Sign in with the same account you used before.
- Give it a moment to pull your history back, then check that your savings and streak look right.
Signing in is the key step. It is what links your saved data to the new device.
If something looks off
If a number seems wrong after the move, do not panic and do not start logging fake entries to “fix” it. Check you are on the right account first. And remember to log honestly going forward. See logging a purchase without the guilt.
The takeaway
Your CostMe progress is too good to lose to a phone upgrade. Sign in, keep an export as a backup, then sign in again on the new phone. Your savings, streak, and badges come right along with you.
