Question about SMS Backup and Restore

[Gayle Lynn]

There is also Helium: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

Seems it's gone a year w/o updates to Helium and even l ok never for Pro version.

Before 7.0 and now 7. 1.1 and 8.0.0 (beta).

Sorry I can't help you with that. I don't use OneDrive and have disabled it on my laptop.

Good to see that you got it figured out. Sometimes I wonder myself if all this bother is worth it or not.

Then use Google drive, or Bluetooth to transfer the file.

I'm trying to figure out how to merge SMS from an old phone that I lost and recently found with a newer phone, I think it involves using the "archive" option.

thanks to this topic.

I used SMS Backup app to backup my messages and calls from my old phone. Then restored everything on my new phone. My new phone had already Textra installed. After restoring I only saw 4 message topics in Textra app (should be 50+).

Then I opened the default messaging app on my phone.. there it appeared. All of my old messages intact.

That happened when I got my s8. There is a setting in the settings somewhere that let's you reload or refresh the messages.
