SMS Backup & Restore Pro

"I ran tis, it took about an hour to complete the process then sa ed to Google Drive. It didn't save correctly and I tried 2 other options to open the downloaded texts to ko avail. I spent $5 for nothing"

"This app used to work perfectly but now it only backs up random parts of a conversation on my OnePlus."

"Great."

"After spending about two hours researching why my pixel 5 > 8 upgrade was leaving SMS and call log behind and trying numerous hacks and a terrible ad-bloated app, I tried this one instead and was so relieved and impressed I've bought the pro just to give back to the author. Thank you!!!!"

"This app works great, but recently it gets stuck a lot of times when uploading to Google Drive. I have a huge amount of texts to backup, so I don't know if that's the issue, but it gets stuck a lot of times recently. I am going to try using another account like One Drive and see if that works better. I frequently have to restart my phone to get the app to finish uploading my backup, though. And it's using a lot of battery from getting hung up. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra"

"Edit: after developer feedback, I've adjusted settings in the app on my Samsung phone, and the app is once again working flawlessly. Original review: Used to work flawlessly, but lately it has issues duplicating messages when transferring between a Samsung Galaxy and a Google Pixel. It will restore 2 copies of each RCS message on the other phone - one in SMS format and one in MMS."

"Had a problem with duplicating messages after restore on Samsung phone, but developpers quickly sent me a note with a setting ajustment. Everything worked fine after that."

"This app is an absolute must when changing phones! It always works and is very reliable!"

"Why is this app using 128 GB of storage and shows no local backups?!"

"Fantastic product. Been using it for years. Well worth the price."

"Its terrible. It duplicates messages bad. Even if you delete the entire conversation before restoring it duplicates the messages."

"User friendly"

"I have my backups scheduled to run once a week. It runs at that time and completes successfully. But for some reason it will run 2 or 3 times more that week at random times. To stop it I have to reboot, and it immediately starts again after reboot."

"Enabled me to transfer all message threads, including images, from a Pixel 6 to a Pixel 9. So grateful for this app. I would have lost many SMS/MMS/RCS conversations and images otherwise. The native Pixel transfer app did a good job of transferring apps/settings/data for everything but Google Messages: only some messages and nearly none of the images transferred. SMS Backup & Restore transferred everything."

"Upgraded from S20 to S24 Ultra using Samsung Smart Switch and backup on Google Drive. Call logs and text messages not an option to restore so seeing your great reviews tried your backup & restore app. 15 minutes well spent now all transferred to my S24. Great job 👏 Life savers 😉"

"When restoring a backup from 24 hours ago, it restored messages that had been deleted months ago, including spam. It didn't restore the block list from Textra."

"Life saver. Used for the last 5 years and I can't complain."

"I don't know how I never rated this before, but this is the absolute best app for backing up all your SMS data."

"Google is sending Red Alerts on this EXCELLENT BACKUP product on Chrome when I opened the play store. I open it and everything is green except one YELLOW The developer says this app doesn’t collect user data This is how backup applications are supposed to BE! I get an Alert because Google wants $$$$. IE Unverified developer I had a question and I emailed the developers. In one hour they replied ready to assist me. The issue was actually something I missed. GOOGLE is getting as bad as APPLE"

"Been using this app for years, even paid for the pro version. But I am unable to set backups to my original GDrive folder due to permissions and the app not recognising it's previous backup folder after using a new phone."
