My mother died recently. She had an S21 Ultra and she used to reply to text messages using voice messages. I need a way to backup the SMS and MMS messages and include the voice messages so I can give them to the police. I had a lady that claimed to be a friend of my mother manage to gain POA of my mother and my mother's own voice messages contradict what the lady had sad.
I've contacted devs of some of the SMS backup programs like
SMS Backup & Restore Pro
SMS Backup & Restore Pro - Apps on Google Play
A simple app to back up and restore SMS & MMS messages and call logs.
play.google.com
and most say that their software will not backup voice messages.
Does anyone know if any software that will work on Samsing's Android 11 and fully preserve the MMS messages including the amr files, so I can still have a record with context of all the messages?

Hey guys.
Caused by Samsungs GREAT settings to delete SMS in conversations > 200 SMS i have lost 2500 SMS on my GalaxyNote after the first sms restore.
I have a backup of all SMS before the GalaxyNote and would make a backup of today (maybe with another tool which can handle sms which are on my phone twice)
I want to join them together to get all my sms back together.
How can i do this?
First of all: I am currently using this SMS Backup tool:Click
Is there any SMS Backup Tool wich only restores SMS which are NOT on the device? I dont want to have some of my SMS twice on my device.
My Idea was to delete all sms, then i restore the BackupFile from before the GalaxyNote with my SMS Tool right now and then i restore the current backup.
I hope you understand my Situation.
PS: Mixing up both XML BackupFiles is insane because i have 3500+ SMS and they are all numbered consecutively in both files.
Go SMS Pro, has build in backup & restore
and when you restore, it will only restore the missing SMS
on a side note i also use SMS Backup + (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync)
but it will restore everything, causing duplicates
but that's not why i use it, i like that one because it can log calls / times, and SMS to google account and calendar, so it creates a good log of daily use, and tracking, is great for business when you are trying to remember customers calls and when it was done
My Backup is a good app for this

You wont like this, but two considerations:
- The setting remained unchanged, its Google/Android in general, not Samsung
- Its caused by you, by not paying attention, by not being prepared, not by Samsung nor Google.
This post is in no way intended to offend, I just cant stand this spitting around BS because one is enraged bc he fukkered up and blames everyone and everybody except himself. I mean this in a general, not a personal way. But it does touch you slightly, though

Not sure if you're willing but if you port your number to Google Voice all your text messages are in the cloud and will sync for every device you install GV on.

dont i have to cancel my contract for that
I use SMS Backup+ and it does backup text messages done through hangouts but I cannot restore texts to hangouts from these backups.
I have read that SMS Backup and Restore does work on KitKat and our N5s but there may be a hoop or two you have to jump through.
I need to find a good auto backup and ability to restore my texts, I miss that from my previous Android phones.

Downloaded SMS Backup and restore. Downloaded the back up from my google drive . Restored the messages and a message appeared that i will have to set the default app to SMS Backup and Restore . Did that and then made Hangout the default app. all the restored messages appeared in hangout.
After this you can install any of the SMS apps from the play store like Go SMS Pro , Textra etc etc . Once this is done, Go to the settings of Hangout and uncheck the option of Hangout as the SMS app . All your text messages will now appear in the new SMS app you have downloaded from the play store.

Oh, sorry, I totally forgot that some people are still on contracts. But once your contract is up in the future that would be a viable solution.
Assuming you're on Sprint with that contract you can also integrate your Sprint number with Google Voice which will have the exact reversible effect as permanently porting it.
Besides some backup and restore solutions that some other guys left above there really isn't anything that will sync your text messages.
Im trying to back up my viber messages
I have htc desire x
i go into viber > settings > calls and messages > email message history and start creating the backup file.
it loads for a while and then exits the loading symbol (if you get what i mean) and just leaves me on the calls and messages page
i have 2 conversations, one is where ive been regularly deleting the messages and the 2nd is a conversation ive kept for months (maybe around 5 months) it has so many messages.
the first conversation backs up and emails fine but the second just wont backup and email.
im wondering if viber has a limit of messages you can have to backup your messages?
anyone got any tips to help me backup the second conversation because the first i really dont care about i just really want to save the second conversation.
i looked on many websites and ive tried the app backup text for viber but same as emailing my message history, it only backup the smaller conversation (1st one)
please help asap!

Hi Guys,
Was wondering if anyone knew of a good SMS app (I'm currently using Go SMS Pro) that will back up all settings which can be easily restored after a ROM flash/change.
When I restore Go SMS Pro (using Titanium Backup- with backup apps external data selected) all the settings are gone- most importantly my Quick Text (pre-written SMS responses) are gone.
I'm after an SMS app which is feature rich (Quick Text, Pop Up for new messages, Widget and Delay Send) which is fully restored with Titanium Backup or which allows me to back-up/restore the settings (not just the SMS messages).
Any ideas/suggestions welcome
I'm moving from a Note 4 to the Pixel 3. I've got most data transferred, but there is a problem with group text messages.
I'm using the stock Android Messages app on both phones.
I used MyBackupPro to save and restore the messages. It appears to mostly work, but for group conversations, only the parts I sent are part of the restored conversation. Other non-group texts and MMS contain both sides of conversations.
Is there a different approach I should use to correctly transfer my SMS and MMS data?
I used SMS Backup & Restore, but I do note have group texts, so cannot confirm it would work.
Been using SMS backup and restore with a combination of Titanium Backup for years. Works 99% of the time. There is a new app called Migrate. Does it all in one with a flash able zip in TWRP for restore. Haven't actually used it but, looks promising.
Thanks for the replies.
I repeated the transfer using Titanium Backup. This method worked correctly, so apparently the issue is with MyBackup Pro.
