Smart Memory Compression
This is another new feature of ColorOS 6.1. It works to detect inactive
apps and compress its memory to make space for other apps.
OPPO Cloud
OPPO Cloud Backup serves to back up your contacts, SMS, photos, files.
Activate OPPO Cloud
Go to [Settings] > [Sign-in OPPO ID].
Enter the lock-screen passcode and toggle on [Enable Cloud
Service]. The system will start the backup of photos, contacts, notes,
calendar, browsing the history, and WLAN by default.
Optimize Storage
When enabled the optimized storage, the original photos will be stored
at OPPO Cloud, while smaller, clearly visible versions of photos will be
stored on your phone to save space.
Go to [Settings] > [OPPO ID] > [Cloud] > [Photos] > [Optimize Storage].
When disabled, the original photos will be automatically downloaded to
your phone.
Manage Cloud Storage
OPPO Cloud provides 5G free storage for each user. If you need more
cloud storage, you can delete unused data or pay for the upgrade of
more storage.
Check Your Cloud Storage
Go to [Settings] > [OPPO ID] > [Manage Cloud Storage].
Free Up Cloud Storage
You cannot back up data to the Cloud after the storage is full. You may
delete the unwanted data for more space. Backing up your device is
recommended.
Delete Cloud Backup
When Cloud Backup is enabled, it automatically performs a backup of
your SMS, call history, apps list and arrangement, and system settings
to the cloud. The automatic backup frequency is once every 1 day. You
can turn off Cloud Backup or delete stored data for larger cloud storage.
Go to [Settings] > [OPPO ID] > [OPPO Cloud Backup].
Select the backup you want to delete by Taping [Delete] on the bottom
right area of the screen.
When [OPPO Cloud Backup] is off, the system will stop the automatic
backup. The backed-up data will not be deleted.
Purchase More Cloud Storage
Each user will acquire a 5GB free cloud storage. You can purchase more
space when you need.
Go to [Settings] > [OPPO ID] > [Manage Cloud Storage] > [Change Cloud
Storage Plan].
You can upgrade the storage plan to either 30GB, 100GB or 1024GB. You
can pay for renewal every month, three months, half a year, or on a
yearly basis.
Contacts Time Machine
Whenever there are changes in contacts, a record will be automatically
generated, allowing you to restore to the previous status.
Activate Cloud Sync of Contacts
Go to [Settings] > [Cloud Data Sync] > [Contacts] > [Cloud Sync of
Contacts].
Restore Contacts
Go to [Settings] > [Cloud Data Sync] > [Contacts] > [Restore Contacts].
Select the backed-up data at a certain point that you have previously
finished with the backup and tap [Restore].
