Summary

Android Marshmallow has brought in a great backup feature for apps, reducing friction for users migrating to new devices.

In a world full of diverse apps, maximizing the benefits from automatic backups leads to better user experience. The goal of this feature is to unload the burden and shorten the time required to set up a new device with the user's favorite apps.
