SMS Backup & Restore Android

SMS Backup & Restore

A simple app that backs up and restores SMS & MMS messages and call logs.

Overview

Features & Capabilities

SMS Backup & Restore is an Android app that backs up SMS, MMS, and call logs and can restore from existing backups. By default, backups stay locally on the device, with optional uploads to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.

Key features include selecting which conversations to backup or restore, viewing and searching backups, and fast transfers between phones over WiFi Direct. It supports scheduled backups, emailing backups, and restoring to another phone. The app emphasizes privacy by not sending data to the developer; ensure you have a backup before performing a factory reset.

User Reviews

The app is praised for reliable SMS/MMS backups and easy setup, plus useful cross‑device transfer and Google Drive cloud backups. However, users frequently report device/Android version compatibility issues, Google Drive restore restrictions, occasional message duplication glitches, and substantial storage usage. Overall, it’s a solid free option for backups, with strong cloud integration and rescue potential when other methods fail, tempered by platform and privacy caveats.
Pros
  • Reliable backup and restore of SMS, MMS, and calls across devices
  • Easy to set up and use with simple steps
  • Free app with strong functionality
  • Cloud storage integration (Google Drive) for backups
  • Effective cross‑device transfers when other methods fail
Cons
  • Device/Android version compatibility issues causing non‑operation on some devices
  • Google Drive/Google account restore can be blocked or restricted by Google
  • Occasional glitches such as duplicate messages or data duplication
  • Reports of very high storage usage (e.g., taking up 99GB) and potential privacy concerns

I was switching from OnePlus 8 to OnePlus 15. I copied everything over smoothly except for messages, which wouldn't transfer with the Clone Phone App. This app helped solve that problem -(old phone) use this app to download messages onto Google drive as a file -(new phone) use Google drive to download messages onto new phone, and import the files onto this app -give it a minute, the old messages will load onto the default messages app

Pretty much useless: It doesn't purge the external backups properly. Either you log in and manually clean the old ones out or it exhausts the space and cannot continue backing up.
