Comments on SMS Backup, Print & Restore for Android

★★★★★ Erik Maher · Sep 29, 2026
Indispensable, one of my favorites, with 1 serious flaw. You can save texts as PDFs, change position and appearance of conversation elements, and backup SMS and RCS without requiring a USB cable to a PC. (Another app I used for years, Backup trans, stopped working when Android 17 locked down E2EE such as RCS.) The only major flaw is in Exporting - File Names. I want yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss, instead have 29_09_26_072705. Defaulting to regional system settings? It should let you choose proper ISO 8601.
★★★★★ Deanna G · Sep 19, 2026
I downloaded this app to save the text messages with my mom who had recently passed away. It was worth it for that alone but have used it to share more information and love it.
★★★★★ Ellen B · Oct 25, 2026
Just what I wanted! Really easy to use. Save as PDF, then connect phone to laptop, and save on laptop or print. Perfect
★☆☆☆☆ Julie · Jul 31, 2026
it's only a free trial and the free trial doesn't even work. I cantbdownload anything from my texts. What a scam.
★☆☆☆☆ POOLBRITE KONA HAWAII · Sep 6, 2026
Installed but not one backup we've had the app installed for months and keep trying different combinations of things to get the app to actually back up our text messages but nothing has happened. And it shows that it's backing up and then fails at the very end

Never lose a text again. SMS backup and restore for all your SMS, MMS and RCS messages – automatically, to your phone or your own cloud.

SMS Backup, Print & Restore backs up text messages on a schedule, restores text messages to the same phone, and transfers your texts to a new phone. And when you need your texts for court, legal matters, work or insurance, export text messages to PDF – court-ready, with every date, name and photo – and print them in one tap.

SMS BACKUP AND RESTORE
☁️ Automatic SMS backup to Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive – daily, weekly or monthly
🔄 Restore text messages to the same phone or transfer text messages to a new phone
💬 Back up SMS, MMS and RCS messages (RCS support depends on your device and messaging app)
🖼️ Photos, videos and voice notes kept together with the chat

TEXT MESSAGES TO PDF & PRINT
📄 SMS to PDF: save text messages as PDF with dates, times, names and photos
🖨️ Print text messages directly from your phone
⚖️ Court-ready PDFs for custody, landlord, insurance or HR records
📧 Email them to your lawyer, landlord or insurer in one tap

PERFECT FOR
• Switching to a new phone
• Saving family memories and conversations with loved ones
• Keeping text messages for court, work, insurance or taxes
• Freeing up space without losing anything

EXPORT SMS TO ANY FORMAT
PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, HTML or images – one chat or many at once, for exactly the date range you need.

BEAUTIFUL, READABLE DOCUMENTS
