Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: ZC520TL
Firmware Version:US_14.14.1808
Rooted or not: NO
Frequency of Occurrence: NON
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
My 2 years old Zenfone 3 Max running out of storage space (80% used) which causing the phone would not perform properly with notification on some common Apps like Gmail, Wechat and lately even Whatsapp...etc.
I am wondering whether installing a SD Card can solve this problem, I know starting Android 6 some phone can use the SD card as "extension" of the on-board storage that can install Apps on it.
Anyone knows for sure? Any help will be much appreciated!

Hi aau_99 
Thank you for your asking. If you can not backup via Settings>Backup & reset, please try
(1) USB cable
(2) Backup app like ASUS Data Transfer..

Hi Christine,
Thanks for the reply.
USB Cable -> Does it also transfer System Settings like wifi password?
ASUS Data Transfer App -> Is it only work from one Zenfone to another Zenfone, if so, I am backup and restore to same phone, how does it work?
I was hoping that ASUS would have a utility program that can backup and restore system level data, that makes switching phones much easier and safer factory reset.
