Transferring old texts

[Rumblee1]

Just bought an LG v10. Would like to transfer my old text messages that are on my galaxy note 4 to my v10. I use Google messanger. How, if possible, can I do this? .

SMS Backup and Restore in the Play Store should help you out..

Agree, SMS has worked very well for my transfers.

But will this work now if I put this app on my phone?

Why wouldn't it? If you've already sent and received messages on the new phone, I'm not sure how it will impact the message database with regards to those messages. If you don't yet have the new phone, wait until you have it to do your backup so you can get all your most recent messages.

Personally, I don't think I really had anything groundbreaking or legally required for anything in my old phone's message database so I started fresh when I got my new phone.

Just start the back up process when you get the app, should be good to go, at least it was for me.

Sms backup and restore is a good app for this. There's also a call log backup and restore app of we you wish to transfer those as well.
