About this app

SMS Backup & Restore Pro is an app that backs up (creates a copy of) SMS & MMS messages and call logs currently available on the phone. It can also restore messages and call logs from already existing backups. This is a Paid no-ads version of the ad-supported free app.

Note: This app requires existing backups to be able to restore call logs and messages. It cannot recover anything without existing backups.

Highly recommended if you are transferring your SMS to a new phone. This app worked as advertised and moved all my messages with pictures & videos from a name brand phone to a generic phone. I tried a couple of different apps and my messages were either cut short or photos missing. This app completely moved my messages & call log to my new phone.

I appreciate this app for its ability to back up messages and calls, then upload them to the cloud. However, I suggest an improvement: instead of backing up everything anew each time, the app could simply append new data to the previous week's backup before uploading. This would be more efficient in terms of time and energy. Additionally, I'm encountering an issue with locating my local backups, as the app seems to be in a continuous loading state, making it challenging to delete these backups.

Have used the free version of this in the past when moving to new phones and it has always worked great. Recently ran into an issue migrating to a new phone with android 14 and I reached out to support. They corrected the issue quickly with an update and let me know when it was available to download. More than happy to pick up the pro version and would recommend this to anyone.
