On your phone. Nothing is kept on our servers: BeforeWalls has no account and no servers holding your homes. See the privacy policy.

Yes. Open the wall, tap Take photos and keep tapping the shutter. Every photo is saved with that wall, and the same works for ceilings and floors. From your Library you can pick several photos at once.

Your home credits come back with your Google account. Your homes come back from the backup file you made with Back up all (for example in Google Drive). We can't recover homes you didn't back up, so keep your backups up to date; the app reminds you when a home isn't backed up.

Use Back up all in the app: one tap saves every home to your own cloud, such as Google Drive. The backup includes your documents. A step-by-step video will be added here.

Install BeforeWalls on the new phone with the same Google account, and your home credits come back. Then open the backup file you made with Back up all (for example in Google Drive) to bring your homes across. Restoring your own homes from a backup on a new phone is free.

Send the home as one file, and you choose where it goes, for example email or Google Drive. You can choose to leave invoices out when you share. Looking at a home someone sent you is always free; editing it uses 1 credit.

Yes. Open a photo and tap the share button, or press and hold a document and tap Send to someone. It goes by WhatsApp, email or any app on your phone, and the other person doesn't need BeforeWalls. Photos are sent without the hidden location details.

The app asks: replace the home on the phone with the backup, keep both, or skip it. Replacing your own home is free.

Tap Try again. If it keeps happening, tap Send error report: it opens an email with the error and your app and Android version, which you can read before sending. The app never sends anything by itself.
