Update and software repair

Xperia Companion offers an easy way to install new software updates, but also to perform a software repair – a quick and easy way to solve any performance issues.

Note

• The software update function of Xperia Companion cannot be used with Xperia smartphones released in May 2022 and after.
• For Xperia smartphones released in May 2022 and after, you will need to configure the data transfer setting in your Xperia smartphone when you connect it to your computer. After connecting it to your computer with a USB cable, find and tap [Settings] > [Device connection] > [USB], and then select [File Transfer] for [Use USB for].
• From June 2020, we will end support for the “iCloud backup” function used for transferring data from iOS phones to Xperia smartphones released before 2018. You can still use “iTunes backup” to transfer data from iOS phones to Xperia smartphones released before 2018.
• On Xperia smartphones released from 2019 onwards, you cannot use Xperia Companion to restore your content. Please use Google Drive to back up and restore your content.
