    Yojaro 4Pack Silicone Suction Phone Case Mount, Silicon Adhesive Smartphones Stand Sticky, Hands-Free Phone Accessories Holder for Selfies and Videos (Black & White & Translucent & Light Pink)
    • 【Strong Adsorption】The inspiration of the silicone phone suction case comes from the adhesive force of the octopus. Each suction cup phone mount is 3.15 inches long and 2.17 inches wide, with 24 independent suction cups providing a stronger and more stable suction force, so you don't have to worry about your phone falling during use.
    • 【Back of Phone Suction Grip】Remove the adhesive film on the phone suction cup and stick it on the phone case. You can then fix the phone on any smooth surface, which is very convenient. (The phone suction cup cannot be removed and reused after being attached to the phone case. It is recommended to attach it to a regular phone case, not a valuable one.)
    • 【Widely Used】Our non-slip silicone phone sticky grip mount attaches to almost any flat phone case and make it compatible with common mobile phones such as iPhone and Android.You can shoot, watch videos or video calls in the kitchen, gym, dance studio, bathroom and other places.
    • 【Capture the Wonderful Picture】Whether you are a TikTok creator or just like to share videos and photos, this phone suction cup can help you hands-free capture wonderful videos and photos for sharing with friends.
    • 【Note】You can fix the phone suction cup on a smooth surface such as a mirror or glass. If necessary, wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to obtain stronger suction. Before releasing your hand, make sure the phone is firmly fixed. (Not applicable to rough walls, wooden surfaces, and other uneven surfaces)
  4. Choose a destination folder. Koofr uses My iOS Media by default, but you can select another folder in your account.

  5. Set the available preferences for your library: organize uploads into folders by year, preserve creation dates for new uploads, include Live Photos, and allow cellular data if you want uploads to use it. Labels and options can vary by app version.

  6. For the initial upload, keep Koofr open; Wi-Fi and a charger are practical choices for a large library. Background upload depends on your iOS and app versions, and is not guaranteed to run continuously.

    Apple EarPods Headphones with USB-C Plug, Wired Ear Buds with Built-in Remote to Control Music, Phone Calls, and Volume
    • SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
    • HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
    • BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with USB-C plug also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
    • COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a USB-C port.
    • INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.

Koofr’s iPhone photo and video backup guide and its iOS auto-upload instructions describe this setup.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

What happens after you enable upload

Koofr describes Auto-Upload as backup, not sync. Once a photo or video has uploaded, deleting the local item from your iPhone does not delete the Koofr copy. This is a camera-roll upload, not a complete backup of the iPhone or its apps and settings.

If you change the destination folder and choose to back up all existing media, Koofr says it will upload the device’s media to the newly selected destination again. Consider this before changing folders when you have a large library. Koofr also renames duplicate filenames to avoid overwriting files; a renamed item may have a suffix such as “(1).”

Background uploads depend on iOS

Koofr says background auto-upload requires Koofr iOS app version 4.0.0 or later and iOS 26.4 or later. With an earlier iOS version, Koofr’s instructions say the app must remain open for automatic uploads. Even on supported versions, iOS decides when background work runs; uploads may be delayed from minutes to hours and can pause because of system conditions such as battery level, Low Power Mode, network availability, storage, or thermal state. See Koofr’s explanation of why iOS uploads slow down or stop.

Troubleshoot uploads that pause or stop

For background upload on iOS 26.4 or later

For iOS versions earlier than 26.4

Keep Koofr open with the screen on while uploads run. If an upload stalls, Koofr suggests finding the last uploaded file in the destination folder, locating the next item in Photos, and temporarily hiding that item to see whether uploading resumes. If it does not, contact Koofr support. See its instructions for older-iOS upload problems.

Check account storage

A full Koofr account can prevent new uploads. Check available storage in your account; Koofr directs users to its web app for storage management rather than providing a direct in-app upgrade link.
