How to save GPS Activity Stats data to the cloud

In the Insta360 app v2.14.0 or later, if you have activated the Insta360+ Cloud Service for your account, the GPS Activity Stats data will be automatically synchronized to the cloud. You can log in with the same account on different devices to view and use the data. If you haven't activated the cloud service, the data remains accessible only on the original device where it is recorded.

Scenario 1: If you are not logged in to the Insta360+ account

1. When you open GPS Activity Stats, a pop-up asking "Sign in?" will appear.
2. Tap "Sign in" and log in to your Insta360+ account as prompted.

Please note: After logging in, your GPS data will be saved to your cloud account. If you choose not to log in, the data will only be stored locally and cannot be synced across devices.

Scenario 2: If you have already logged in to the Insta360+ account

• When local activity data exists: When you open GPS Activity Stats, a pop-up will appear to inform you that local data will be synced to the cloud (this pop-up appears only once).
• When no local activity data exists: No pop-up will appear.

Please note:

After updating the Insta360 app to v2.14.0 or later and logging into your Insta360+ account, all previously local GPS activity data will be automatically synced to the cloud.

If you delete local recording files of GPS Activity Stats, the corresponding data already synced to the cloud will also be deleted.
