      [*] You can backup and restore Messages by using any application (from the Google Play Store) on the Android Device. By default, Android does not comes with SMS backup feature.

      [*] Always prefer saving the Backup file to your Micro SD card, as because whenever you perform factory reset of your Android Device all data present on the SD memory got deleted.

      [*] There are lots of application present on the Google Play Store to backup and restore Messages. We have shared the easiest application on this page.
