I run PK on my phone, which recently got hit by the Android 14 media storage bug (if you’ve not heard of this you probably don’t need to panic, it only affected people with multiple accounts on the phone).

As a result, I couldn’t save any new media or access any old saved media files either. Which meant, among other things, no exporting PK progress.

And the last time I exported and backed up progress on my big full coverage project? I’m sorry to say, dear reader, it was at least 10,000 stitches ago (probably quite a lot more but I was too scared to check).

Now, my story ended well. I had the milder form of the bug, and Google pushed out an emergency update that seems to have fixed it for me. But lots of people weren’t so lucky and are left with a factory reset as their only option. If that was me, I’d have lost so much PK stuff!

So yeah, PSA. Take regular backups. Make sure they’re somewhere safe. It’s worth the peace of mind!
