Here. This is Android Only, but...:

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.

Thanks. I can’t afford the iPhone products, so Android is what I have and what I know.

Nope. No automatic backup like my last phones. So it’s all lost. But it’s OK. There were only a few photos that hadn’t been saved, and in the future, I’ll make sure to save photos right away.

The rest of the stuff, well, I’m not too thrilled about Google/Gmail.

But thanks!
