BLESS. THIS. APP. It worked perfectly! After weeks of scouring the Internet for ways to transfer my Google Messages to my new phone (which uses the same app, logged into the same Google account) and coming up with nada, this app saved me! There's only one con, imo: I'm going to have to go though and archive/delete what looks like thousands of messages (yikes, but hey, at least they're there). Just go in with that expectation, and hopefully the app works for you!

I don't usually write reviews, but I had to write one for this app. I had just transferred my data from the Samsung S24 Ultra to the Samsung S26 Ultra and everything transferred over except for text messages. I thought they were lost until I found this app! It took a little over an hour (lots of texts), but after it was done, I had all my texts back. NOTE: This may seem obvious to some, but I had to first backup on my old device then restore on my new device. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars!!

I loved this app... UNTIL right now. It has reliably backed up all my SMS texts for years. However, after the recent update (11/29/25), the app won't even open. I get a message, "Unfortunately, SMS backup & Restore has stopped." It's useless now. I can't retrieve my backups w/out it. I don't want to hastily remove/reinstall the app. I worry it will mess w/ my current backups. Everything was set up perfectly to backup to my desired folder. Update 12/3: TY for your prompt reply to look into this. Edited

I have had this app a handful of years and it has never let me down. The only trouble I ever have is trying to read the saved text messages after transferring them to my computer. It ends up all jumbled and very hard to read, but I think it's some sort of file type issue that's fixable. Because of that issue I did check out a couple other SMS backup apps, but they wanted fees, very un-user friendly apps without having the ability to backup to a external USB storage. I'm not doing that again. Edited

The company I have my cell service with provided a transfer data app. When it came to my text messages, it was over 4 hours of waiting, and I called it quits. I looked online, and others were frustrated and had the same concern. I found this app on a whim as a last chance to try and save my texts. (They're good references with my line of work) I have over 5gb of messages, and this app was able to transfer them all within an hour and easy to use. I was highly impressed.
