Description

From the listing uploaded by “india-market”.

Automatically backup your SMS, MMS and call history with a separate label in Gmail and Google Calendar. Later you can restore the saved data (except MMS) back to the phone, especially useful when switching to a new device. IMAP access needs to be manually enabled in Gmail, see the website and FAQ for more information. You can of course use your own IMAP server for backups, giving you full control over your data. SMS Backup+ is a free open-source project which has been in active development since the early days of Android, completely ad and tracking-free, supported through voluntary donations. Many thanks to the numerous people who have donated, contributed feedback, code or translations – detailed credits can be found in the app or on the website.

SMS Backup+ APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is SMS Backup+ free?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

Is the SMS Backup+ APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is f057fcdbb463790a3df5765717c247da.
