I've been using the Memo app on my Samsung phone for a long time. I usually record ideas there when I'm not at my laptop and then go through them when I have the time. Some memos I keep for a long time because they contain information that is rather persistent, such as what time of ink cartridges to buy for my printer (I always forget the model). I don't backup my data using anything but the Google backup service which integrates into the Android operating system quite nicely and so I'd never paid attention to the Samsung backup service. The other day I was looking at the apps Samsung installs without consulting their users. I realised that Samsung was automatically backing up some of my data such as images and memos. I never (knowingly) asked Samsung to store my personal information so I decided to delete the backup from the cloud and ensure that the service was disabled. Little did I know that doing this would purge all the memos I had saved on my phone. Thanks, Samsung!
