SMS Backup: PDF & Restore Android

SMS Backup: PDF & Restore

By: Jerry Zigo App
Export & print texts to PDF or HTML. Transfer & restore SMS to another phone.

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Back up your text messages in minutes — and actually be able to read them anywhere. SMS Backup exports your SMS & MMS conversations to clean PDF or HTML files with chat bubbles, runs automatic scheduled backups, and restores your messages when you switch to a new phone.

📄 EXPORT TO PDF
Turn whole conversations into printable PDF documents — with real emoji, your MMS photos, sender bubbles and date separators. Perfect for keeping records, legal or court documentation, or preserving memories.

💬 BEAUTIFUL, READABLE BACKUPS
• 5 chat-bubble themes: Classic, Elegant, two Dark themes and an iOS-style look
• Open your backup on any computer or phone — no app needed
• Photos and audio from MMS included

✨ A MODERN APP
Completely redesigned: clean four-tab layout, dark mode, instant conversation search and a home dashboard with your backup status at a glance.

🔄 TRANSFER & RESTORE
Switching phones? Create a backup, move it to your new device and restore your SMS in a few taps. Every backup also contains a restorable data file, so your messages are never locked into one phone.

⏰ SCHEDULED BACKUPS TO GOOGLE DRIVE (PREMIUM)
Set it once and forget it — daily, weekly or monthly backups run in the background and are uploaded to your own Google Drive. If your phone is lost or broken, your messages aren't.

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account or registration needed
• Backups are created on your device and stay in your storage or your own Google Drive
• Your messages are never sent to us

⭐ PREMIUM
One single purchase — no subscription. Removes ads and unlocks all themes and scheduled backups to Google Drive.

GOOD TO KNOW
• The app cannot recover messages that were already deleted.
• RCS ("chat") messages can be backed up on supported devices (e.g. many Samsung phones). On other devices RCS chats may not appear in the backup — SMS and MMS always do.
• Restore currently supports SMS text messages.

User Reviews

Users broadly find SMS Backup easy to use and capable of backing up messages to multiple destinations, including email, Google Drive, and local storage, with some reviews noting export options (HTML/PDF). However, a notable portion report stability problems (freezing or failing to open) and slow or missing responses from support, indicating reliability and support responsiveness are key concerns despite overall positive sentiment.
Pros
  • Simple to use / easy to navigate
  • Backup to multiple destinations (email, Google Drive, local storage) and export to HTML/PDF
  • Works well / generally reliable across many reviews
Cons
  • Stability issues: the app freezes or won’t open (reported by multiple users)
  • Support responsiveness issues: help requests go unanswered or take weeks
Recent reviews
Was decent until recent update. Now terrible and uninstalled. Used to be straightforward and easy to use. Now the UI is arcane and incomprehensible. Want suggestions to improve it? Go back to the old, reliable version.

This is a helpful and useful app. Thanks to the developer. Would be great if the backups can be scheduled and stored in a user designated folder.
