Does your carrier back up text messages to the Cloud for any length of time?
I’ll check on that. Probably, but I’ve never thought about it before now because I’ve always been so careful with what got deleted. My recertification appointment is in a few minutes but I’ll check when I get back. I think they’re automatically backed up, but I’ll find out.
Thanks for the reminder! :o]

SMS Backup+
Can’t save everything, but I’ll never worry that changing to a new phone might mean losing entire, ongoing threads of texts.
SMS Backup+ links up to a GMail account of your choice, creates an “SMS” folder in that account, and periodically stows your SMS messages in that folder. I have messaged threads saved that date back to January of 2016.
SMS Backup+ can also be set to create a “Call log” folder in which it will store a record of every call to make, miss, receive or reject; including the number and duration. Multiple calls to or from the same number are saved as an ongoing email thread.
