Auto backup of texts?

[Android Central Question]

Are my texts automatically backed up or do I need to specify my Google acct to do so? I've read multiple posts, some saying texts are auto backed up along with emails, apps, photos etc, and other posts say text messages are one of the things NOT auto backed up. Which is it???
Thanks!!!

Welcome to Android Central! SMS is backed up, but not MMS (i.e., picture texts and group texts). It may also depend on the Android version you have -- what is it?
