About SMS Backup & Restore
SMS Backup & Restore is the essential tool for protecting your text messages, multimedia messages, and call logs from permanent loss. Whether you're upgrading to a new phone, performing a factory reset, or simply want peace of mind, this app ensures your important communications are safely preserved and ready to restore whenever you need them.
Take control of your message history with flexible backup options tailored to your needs. Back up all your SMS, MMS messages, and call logs in industry-standard XML format, then choose exactly which conversations to include or exclude. You decide what matters most. Local backups are created directly on your device by default, giving you complete privacy—your data never reaches the developer's servers. For added security and accessibility, you can automatically upload backups to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or email them to yourself for safekeeping across multiple locations.
Schedule backups to run automatically at times that work for you, eliminating the worry of forgetting to protect your data. Set it once and let the app handle regular backups in the background. Search through your backed-up messages and call logs with ease, and view detailed information about each backup. The XML format means your backups remain independent of your Android version—transfer conversations and call histories between phones effortlessly, whether you're switching devices or restoring after a fresh start.
Speed up phone-to-phone transfers with fast WiFi direct connectivity, moving your complete message history and call logs to a new device in minutes. Reclaim storage space on your phone by securely deleting SMS messages or call logs once you've confirmed they're backed up. Need to review a backup on your computer? View your XML backup files on any web browser using the online viewer—no additional software required.
SMS Backup & Restore works seamlessly on Android 5.0 and newer, supporting the widest range of devices. The app only restores backups it has created, ensuring compatibility and reliability. Remember: existing backups are required for restoration—the app cannot recover deleted messages without them. Always keep a copy of your backup outside your phone before performing a factory reset.
Don't let your important messages disappear. Download SMS Backup & Restore today and take ownership of your communication history.
