SMS Backup & Restore Pro

This app is designed to help users backup and restore their call logs and messages. However, it is important to note that this app can only recover data if there are existing backups available. Without backups, the app will not be able to recover any data. If you have any questions or encounter any issues while using the app, you can visit the FAQ section on our website at https://synctech.com.au/sms-faqs/ for assistance.

The app offers additional features that are not available in the free version. These include the ability to compress and encrypt backups, as well as the option to use WebDAV as a backup location. Other features of the app include the ability to backup SMS, MMS, and call logs in XML format, with the option to automatically upload them to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. Users can also choose a recurring scheduled time for backups and select which conversations to backup or restore.

The app also allows users to view and drill into their local and cloud backups, as well as search for specific backups. It also offers the option to restore or transfer backups to another phone, regardless of the Android version. The app also has a fast transfer feature between two phones over WiFi direct, making it easy to transfer data between devices. Additionally, users can free up space on their phone by deleting all SMS messages or call logs directly from the app.

It is important to note that the app has been tested on Android 5.0 and higher and can only restore backups made by this specific app. Backups are created locally on the phone by default, but users have the option to upload them to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or email. The app does not send any files to the developer at any time. However, it is recommended to have a copy of the backup outside of the phone before performing a factory reset.

In order for the app to function properly, it requires access to certain permissions on the device. This includes access to messages, calls and contact information, network view and communication, social information, and the ability to run at start-up and prevent the phone from sleeping during backup or restore operations. The app also needs access to account information for authentication with Google Drive and Gmail for cloud uploads. Location access is only requested and used during WiFi direct transfer for security purposes on Android.
