Does anybody know a tool that back backup AND read WhatsApp and SMS messages on a laptop?

[Android Central Question]

Going to be hard to explain. But I am getting rid of a phone and number, I want certain text and WhatsApp messages backing up, I would like to be able to view these via a laptop without a phone if I ever need to.

There is an app for iPhone that I found called CopyTrans Contacts which looks like pretty much exactly what I'm after (please Google it if unsure)

Is there an Android equivalent? My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S9.

Would love to be able to backup and view on a laptop.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, I did try sign up but it told me my email was already in use. Found how to log in.

Basically got WhatsApp and SMS messages that I would like to back up in a readable way on a laptop.

A bit like the CopyTrans Contacts tool for iPhone.

Be very grateful if somebody could tell me a way to maybe do something similar with android!

This is basically what I'm after, but for android?
