SMS/Calls backup app

Hi guys,

Since it doesn't look like SMS Backup+ isn't going to comply with Google's policies anytime soon, what are my alternatives? I don't mind paying since I'll be using it quite a lot.

Gmail integration for the backup location is essential.

Thanks.

What phone do you have? All Android phones I've used have the ability to backup SMS message integrated into the menu. Or am I missing something?

I've been using sms backup and restore for years now.

Does the job well!

SMS Backup & Restore here also.

/edit Sorry didn't notice your Gmail integration requirement first read. My reply won't be helpful.

At least with vanilla Android 9 this should be integrated. No idea when it was added.

Under 'Settings -> Google -> Backup' I have options to enable/disable 'Call history' and 'SMS text messages'

Thanks guys! I'll have a look at SMS Backup and Restore - paid version? Give me the chance to use up some earned credit...

Another +1 to SMS Backup & Restore. Multiple Samsung devices SII + A70 (still got both) and a few other Sammy devices that I've had inbetween.
