How to get Text from old Galaxy S5 to new Galaxy S7 Edge

[pvcleave]

My wife has a just gotten a new Galaxy S7 Edge. Is there a way to get the text messages from the old phone to the new phone? She has the old phone with the text messages on it.

If not is there something she can do now, so in the future she can get them. Especially if she has to reset her phone.

SMS backup and restore is a good app for this. Install it on the old phone. Save the saved file to google drive or somewhere, install SMS backup on new phone, import saved file.
