How do i transfer my entire messages from Note 5 to Note 8?

[Android Central Question]

I used the smart switch and back up and restore up, although it backs up almost the entire messages. I noticed that 2 of my contacts only saved the texts till dec 7 and oct 27. Ive tried backing it up multiple times but can't get the remaining message. Help!

Try using SMS Backup & Restore. I just transferred my texts to another phone the other day - and all of them, back to May 2013 transferred. (I had deleted all the earlier ones a while ago.)
