How to Recover Old Fallout Shelter Saves
To recover an old Fallout Shelter save, first, check if you've synced your game with cloud storage, like Google Play Games or Apple's Game Center. If you did, simply re-installing the game and logging into the same account should bring back your old vault. If not, you might need to dive into your device's file system. Look for the 'Vault1.sav' file in the 'Documents' folder inside the 'FalloutShelter' folder on your device. If you find it, you can manually back it up or transfer it to another device. Remember, always back up your saves!

I lost my vault once and thought it was gone for good. Then I remembered I had it backed up on Google Play. Logged in, and boom, all my dwellers were back from the wasteland. Always sync your game!
Just use the cloud, dude. If you didn't, RIP your vault.
