where are the text messages file in Samsung SM-G386W

[AC Question]

I am trying to find the text messages file and save them to my laptop.

The text messages are stored in a database file in a hidden directory.

There are apps you can install to make backups of the text messages, which you can then copy to other places. I like this one:
