What's new in v3.26
New in Premium: password-protected backups. Set a password when you create a backup and its messages and attachments are encrypted with AES-256. Protected backups can be opened, imported and restored on any phone with the password, with or without Premium.
Fixed: PDF exports no longer come out empty when some photos are missing from the phone. Missing photos, videos and audio are now marked in the export.
Also: large backup files open without freezing, and scheduled backups are more reliable.

How to install SMS Backup: Export PDF & Print on Android 8.0+
You'll need about 11.3 MB of free space.
- Download the APK — tap Download APK above (5.7 MB). Chrome shows “File might be harmful” for every APK file; choose Download anyway only if you trust this file.
- Open the file — tap the download notification, or open Files › Downloads and tap com-jerryzigo-smsbackup-112-76804878-2c9457034d3d76a7abc6e6ee8426080f.apk.
- Allow the install (first time only) — Android 8 and later asks for permission the first time an app opens an APK: tap Settings in the prompt, turn on Allow from this source, then go back. Manual path: Settings › Apps › Special app access › Install unknown apps (on Samsung: Settings › Apps › ⋮ › Special access). On Android 7 and older: Settings › Security › Unknown sources.
- Check the file (optional) — the MD5 of the downloaded file should be 2c9457034d3d76a7abc6e6ee8426080f. If it differs, the file is damaged or was changed: delete it and download again.
- Tap Install — Android asks “Do you want to install this app?”. If Google Play Protect shows a warning, read it before you continue: the source store rated this file Trusted, but only install apps from sources you trust. If an earlier version is installed, this one only installs as an update when it is signed with the same certificate (SHA-1 shown above).
- Open SMS Backup: Export PDF & Print — tap Open on the install screen, or find it in your app drawer.
Common install problems
- “App not installed” — a version signed with a different certificate, or a newer version, is already installed (Android doesn't allow downgrades). Uninstall it first; back up your data, because uninstalling deletes it.
- “There was a problem parsing the package” — the file is incomplete, or your Android is too old (this version needs Android 8.0+). Download it again, or pick an older version.
- Blocked by Play Protect — Play Protect checks apps from outside the Play Store. Only continue if you trust the source.
