How to Allow Full Access to Contacts

  • Updated

In addition to photos and videos, Ultimate Backup can also save your contacts from your iPhone or iPad. To take full advantage of these backup capabilities, you'll need to allow full access to your Contacts. This can be done the first time you tap Start Backup in the app, at which point you should tap Allow Full Access on the prompt below:
Contacts Access > Allow Full Access (crop).png

If this was not the option selected, iOS will no longer prompt you to allow full access, and will instead require you to change this from within Settings > Apps > Ultimate Backup > Contacts. In this case, the next time you try to start a backup, you will instead see one of the prompts below. Before proceeding, make sure iOS is up to date.

  1. Tap Go to Settings app when prompted:
    Home 01 > No Access to Contacts > Got to Settings app.PNG Home 01 > Limited Access to Contacts > Got to Settings app.PNG

  2. Next, tap Contacts on the Ultimate Backup screen in Settings (if don't see this option, try restarting your device):
    Ultimate Backup > Contacts.PNG

  3. Tap Full Access:
    Contacts > None > Full Access.PNG

  4. Tap Allow Full Access:
    Contacts > Allow Full Access Prompt > Allow Full Access.PNG

  5. Return to the Ultimate Backup app UB App 03 - Primary.png and start or resume your backup.
