This is especially true regarding the photos used in the awm app. It is recommended you back-up all images used in your album pages in either cloud storage options or on an external device, your desktop computer, before changing to a new device for images to be available for use in the awm app again.
The awm app is not a server based app, it resides wholly in your device, storing its images would require a monthly subscription fee, and as such users need to take actions to store their images for other/future uses before changing devices. Android users can locate a AWM file, which stores all images used in the app and makes them always available for use, in their device's internal storage - Settings/Storage/Internal Storage/Other/AWM - and copy this file to store the images in a location accessible later, cloud or PC based storage, prior to changing their device. iOS device users will not find a folder dedicated to AWM image storage in their device storage, the images in the awm app are not accessible to users, the user must back-up images used in the app by other means prior to changing devices. The use of iCloud, or other cloud, storage or always maintaining a copy in their device's Photos folder, is recommended for all images placed into the app's albums at all times to ensure they will always be available to a user whether during use of current device or prior to changing devices.[/ms_accordion_item]
[ms_accordion_item title="How are images from the app albums saved on my device?" color="#ffffff" background_color="#5e1327" close_icon="" open_icon="" status="close"]Android
Images placed into the app’s album pages are saved within the app, as copies of the original images, and placed in an app created file (AWM) on the user's device. Because of the diverse number of device models in use and the various photo storage methods used by each device, and user's preference, a user may find deletion of an original image may or may not delete the image from an app album and the app created AWM file. Cloud stored images may not be accessible by the app (if available cloud storage image files will show up when adding images to albums), to use cloud stored images download them to device. Images in app albums are available in the app created file folder(AWM) on the device’s internal storage. Deleting an image from an app album would also remove the image from the app’s storage file in the device’s internal storage.

[ms_accordion_item title="Can we see more of an image used as wallpaper, it is blocked by the album images?" color="#ffffff" background_color="#5e1327" close_icon="" open_icon="" status="close"]*Android only*
A blank position/page can be created in an album by deleting an image from the app’s image folder, AWM, in your device’s storage (you’ll have to scroll through and locate the image you’re trying to remove), a blank space will remain where the image previously had been in your app album (you may have to close and reopen app to see blank position). An image can be added once again to the blank position with the image selector tool, “change picture” command, or the blank position can be deleted from album and other album images move up to fill position. An image removed from the first page of an album will still show the deleted image in the small circle buttons of an Ask screen until a new image is added to that position. To see the whole image used as wallpaper without a frame/border, it’s name and “about” text box remain visible, delete an image from an album by deleting from AWM folder, and select “None” as a Frames selection (you must swipe through Frames before selecting “None”).[/ms_accordion_item]
