SMS Backup + (v. 1.4.6) Разработано Jan Berkel |
Automatically backup SMS, MMS and call log entries using a separate label in Gmail / Google Calendar. It is also possible to restore SMS and call log entries back to the phone (MMS not supported yet).
Remember to enable IMAP in Gmail and set the correct time/zone.
If you get a "You do not have permission to..." error or other problems during the first connect check the website for workarounds.
Please note that auto backup might not work reliably when SMS Backup+ is installed on the SD card. Future version will hopefully fix this, in the meantime please move it back to phone memory if possible.
For those of you worried about app permissions: there is a detailed explanation in the FAQ section of the website.
A few people have asked about a donate option - there is one (via PayPal), it's hidden in the "About" screen.
Also, please consult the FAQ on the website before sending me an email.

[2012-07-18] Jen: You won't be disappointed! I've needed an app like this one for a long time to have records for legal matters. Never worry about losing your data again! It is virtually effortless to use! You download and it does the rest for you. Be sure to leave it on your phone and NOT move it to your SD card. If you move the app to SD card, it doesn't back up your call logs to your calendar or your MMS messages. Otherwise, flawless performance! |
|
[2012-07-18] Rob: Great App I was able to use this to restore SMS messages stored in the correct format from a different SMS backup program. Worked flawlessly! |
|
[2012-07-18] Simon: Amazing I have been trying for days to move my text and call logs across and even Samsung couldn't help. Very simple and easy to use. |
|
[2012-07-18] Chris: excellent work this is really a wonderful app for message back up, it helps me a lot . GREAT! |
|
[2012-07-17] Hafiz: Excellent App Tried all others and finally zeroed on this app. Does exactly what is required in a simple and superb manner. |
|
[2012-07-17] HOTKID: Samsung galaxy y Awesome app i love it!!! , it's simply the best |
|
[2012-07-17] Katherine: The best Backs up without any effort on your part you'd be crazy not to get this ap |
|
[2012-07-17] Erin: Stalking app Yeah my crazy boyfriend keeps installing this without me knowing! Guess it works great for stalking too! |
|
[2012-07-17] paul.mansfield: brilliantly useful my advice: before you start, create a new calendar call "phone call log" using web interface, as it can take five minutes for your phone to know about it, so that can be happening in the background whilst you're installing the app and letting it do the SMS backup. So then install the app and kick off the sms backup. When that's finished, go back to your on-device calendar and enable sync'ing with the phone call log calendar. Then back in the app enable calendar sync'ing and choose the new calendar. New calls will then appear in the calendar. |
|
[2012-07-17] Denis: Had opportunity to use restore once Had opportunity to use restore once and it worked OK. Can you add label for MMS also? Go to developer site for help if needed. Thank you |
|
[2012-07-17] Jarred: EVO 4g LTE Didn't work, went with another app that worked instantly!! |
|
[2012-07-16] Shannon: Love this app!!!! So I used to save a ton of text messages to my phone which took up so much room but not only does this app email all the info but after I just had to do a factory reset on my phone, it will restore it all as well! Life saver! |
|
[2012-07-16] Brandon: Does what it says No complaints backs up SMS to gmail. No problems. |
|
[2012-07-16] Kyri: Excellent Good work |
|
[2012-07-16] rocky: Samsung ace Best app ever |
|
[2012-07-16] Nikki: What to do? When I click to grant email access, it wants to send a SMS msg. What am I supposed to do? |
|
[2012-07-16] Denise: S2 ICS 升級後不能使用 S2 ics can't use |
|
[2012-07-16] Cat: Not working Since last OS update app refuses to work, crashes and freezes my Galaxy S2. |
|
[2012-07-16] Mary: worked perfectly once I figured out calendar sync HTC Sensation with Android Revolution HD |
|
[2012-07-16] Courtney: Totally Satisfied... ...At least thus far. I have always liked saving my txt msgs from all my cell phones. Older models it was very difficult & I sometimes had to go to great lengths using extreme measures to keep my txts recorded. They help me remember my days like a journal would (which I don't have time to do). The only thing I wish for this app is that it would remember where it left off saving if it has to be interrupted & that it would give the option to delete the data on ur phone that it has already exported. Thx!!! |
|
[2012-07-16] ritesh: update issue.. this app like great to save data on email.. but have prob to using now after updated android 4. not working wid new android 4. |
|
[2012-07-15] Ranu: Siii Great app. Best thinf it does is it creates a folder in ur gmail account for all ur short messages. |
|
[2012-07-15] Ana: Awesome app It just runs in the background n u never realize how useful it is, until the day u need to go back n find sms. Perfect for archiving sms n transferring sms from phone to phone |
|
[2012-07-15] Barry: Question Great app so far.... With on exception. Does it back catalogue. It only seems to backup information from after the app install, but none of the history? Is there something im doing wrong? |
|
[2012-07-15] bluebeetle: Excellent! |
|
[2012-07-15] Rick: AndroidManiac Seems to have trouble restoring anything at all when in the "Advanced Restore" settings option and "Starred" items is selected. But other then that this is one of my most important and favorite apps! Thanks!! |
|

[2012-07-14] Chris: Works well, all the time I've been using this app for a long time, across different Galaxy phones. It has always worked well, highly recommended. |
|
[2012-07-14] Paul: Required a lot of setup Changed from 1 star to 3 after I finally got it working by manually setting imap settings. Too hard to set up. We'll see how it works. |
|
[2012-07-14] ULTRA VIC: Great. Works well. Been looking for something to back up messages for a while now. |
|
[2012-07-13] Babi: Sam This is a superb app |
|
[2012-07-13] aaronkyle: Force closes Sg3 |
|
[2012-07-13] WiLL: Needs Jelly Bean support! Had been using the old version for ages & somehow stumbled across the + version. Amazing improvement. MMS support rules! As well as timed backups! UPDATE: Worked great on Dinc & Thunderbolt!! Doesn't auto backup on GNexus with Jelly Bean though :-( |
|
[2012-07-12] ooofest: Migrated mags and logs easily Just migrated two older phones to brand new models, and this app made seamless work of bringing msgs and call logs across. Great utility. |
|
[2012-07-12] ChadEaston: I downloaded this one Yes I did |
|
[2012-07-12] Sentwali: Great App! This is a must have if you are a person who texts alot . |

|
[2012-07-11] littleone: Not working It stays stuck on the page to grant access. I click grant acess and nothing happens. Will uninstall and reinstall once problem is fixed. |
|
[2012-07-11] Pat: Same problem as below, can't grant access I'm having same problem as "littleone" who posted below. I try to connect my gmail account (which I did successfully with smsbackup until it stopped working with the Android update), clicking either of the Grant Access buttons just loops you back to the same page. |
|
[2012-07-11] Pedro: A Melhor Funciona 100% é credível, parabéns ao criador da aplicação |
|
[2012-07-11] BALU: Really awesome software |
|
[2012-07-11] Senthil Kumar M: Perfect for Back up SMS in Gmail I love the idea of backup of SMS and Call log in Gmail and this app does it perfect. Auto Backup option is awesome. Keep coming with new ideas. :) |
|
[2012-07-11] Apache: Almost perfect! If I want save more than 100 sms per contact? |
|
[2012-07-11] Evri: Won't connect to gmail Keep getting prompt to sign in on my Samsung GS III |
|
[2012-07-11] Putta: ashi fkksbz |
|
[2012-07-10] Carin: This app is worthless I had this app on every other phone I've had and it worked, now on my Pantech Breakout it force closes everytime I even send a message. I need this app for backup so I have documentation for court and it doesn't even work. |
|
[2012-07-10] Monique: Love it!! Such a convenient way to save important text messages right to your Gmail account. |
|
[2012-07-10] roryjoem: Great Was perfect, but recently it's been not backing up for days. I have the interval set at 24 hours. Manual backup works fine though. |
|
[2012-07-10] {MSX}: Perfect app Perfect sms backup application. Nothing is missing, sms appears just as email, connected with your right gmail contact, backups are automatic. 5 starts |
|
[2012-07-10] janek: Best of the best The only but is: you could change 'Grant Access to Google account' method to the one used by Gtasks, much simpler |
|
[2012-07-10] jake: I caught my cheating gf with this I put this app on my gf's phone because I suspected she was cheating. I linked it to a new email address and watched her text and phone calls through the email. Once I had my proof, I dumped her. Not a bad spy app for free! |
|
[2012-07-10] Ken: Works great, backs-up to gmail Does what it says flawlessly. |
|
[2012-07-09] Stephanie: Nope This app sucks!!! |
|
[2012-07-09] Stephaniie: Y doesn't it work It doesn't work on T-Mobile htc sensations:-( |
|
[2012-07-09] Tom: It doesn't work with the Boat Browser Lots of people have reported XOAuth errors using SMS Backup +. I started thinking about it and realized that the phone's browser my be corrupting the security token. Sure enough: when I de-installed the Boat browser and re-installed SMS Backup + and it worked again. As soon as I installed the Boat browser, SMS Backup + stops working. I had hoped that once you granted access using the stock browser you could install the Boat browser and SMS Backup + would continue to work... so such luck. |
|
[2012-07-09] Wajahat: Call logs Call are no ot restoring I don't know if this is a bug or I am not following proper procedure. For the SMS 7 star. |
|
[2012-07-08] CoJo: Brilliant app Very easy to use, create another Calendar in google for your phone logs to back up, it's a great reference and business tool always load this app to all phones makes my life so much easier and if you have your contacts set up in your phone correctly even better. Great work hope you keep making it compatible with new Android versions |
|
[2012-07-08] chazz: Doesn't seem to work on one x Tap to connect to Gmail account is greyed out. |
|
[2012-07-08] rako: Good app Thank you |
|
[2012-07-08] Happy: Awesome |
|
[2012-07-08] Archie: Great app! After clicking on "grant access" nothing happens. Not sure if its the app or gmail causing issues. Update 7/7/12: it works! Used Chrome as suggested. |
|
[2012-07-08] Dhannu: Best Life saver |
|
[2012-07-08] udo: Highly Recommended! Great work |
|
[2012-07-08] Sihan: good |
|
[2012-07-08] homam: Stopped working after ICS It will not let u go pass the google authentication screen too bad it was one of the best app |
|
[2012-07-08] Peter: Incredible Best app ever to protect sms . |
|
[2012-07-08] ToCo: Best app all around! This is my fav application, installing it to all my phones and then searching for important stuff in gmail - win win! Would like to see Viber backup too if possible. |
|
[2012-07-07] Alexander: Лучше только если быстрее... Прога реально хорошо работает, только 4тыс. событий долго восстанавливаются... |
|
[2012-07-07] Cocoa: After many trials and errors... Ok everybody I finally figured out how to get it to work with ICS on my phone. If you don't already have miren browser download it. Then go to the sms plus app and press backup. once it takes you to the "grant access" page in the phone's native browser, copy the url. Immediately go to the miren browser and paste the url there. It will allow u to grant access. It took a while to back up the 3000 messages I have had on my phone since June 14th but they are now in my gmail where they belong! |
|
[2012-07-07] Elliott: Time Frame Feature Add a Time frame download feature so I can choose from which dates of texts I want. |
|
[2012-07-07] Larry: Perfect Did exactly what I needed. Transferred 7700+ texts to my new phone with no cables needed. |
|
[2012-07-07] Bryan: Great app, could be even better! Backup scheduling in the app doesn't seem to be working, and you can only schedule with one other app. Everything else works flawlessly! |
|
[2012-07-07] Aaron: Great app! Works as advertised!!! |
|
[2012-07-07] CronoBurn: Very great tool Great tool, I use SMS for work, and I can now archive info from colleagues, and search when needed, thanks! |
|
[2012-07-06] Chantelle: Won't let me grant access! Used to be a great app. But nite it won't let he grant access to my google account it stays stuck on that page |
|
[2012-07-06] Daxter Fellowes: Awesome! Awesome app. Just noticed it back up MMS. In addition, I have a record in my Gmail. Very very fast and effective in backup and restore - 14k messages backed up so far plus Tasker integration! |
|
[2012-07-06] Saurabh: Great app Love it it restores all texts and logs too... Awesom... |
|

|
[2012-07-06] tina: Love this app This is the only one I will use. Its amazing |
|
[2012-07-06] Jonathan: First app I remember to install whenever... I wipe my phone to start fresh. I like to keep my thread converstations intact. Wish the developer made a version for Blackberry as well as I'd like to have all my sms conversations intact. |
|
[2012-07-06] Lucas: Useful I think its very useful |
|
[2012-07-06] Ian: Love it One of the first appz I install to record texts, got crazy girls, and lots of exes if I need something in court |
|
[2012-07-06] Vishwas: I9000 Super... |
|
[2012-07-05] Phillip: Broken for SGS2 Used to love this app but it has stopped allowing me to backup. I have tried all the reccomended fixes from dev site with no luck. Time to find a new app. |
|
[2012-07-05] Coco: Used to work great...now I can't connect to any of my gmail accounts I can't count how many times this app has saved me. LOVES IT! |
|
[2012-07-05] Ketaki: Works slowly but gets the job done I switched providers and this nifty little app backed up and restored my text messages to my new phone. It's also a great SMS backup app, I wish I had found it earlier... I would rate it five stars if it were faster. |
|
[2012-07-05] Cheryl: Won't work Doesn't work with icecream sandwich |
|
[2012-07-05] RAMON: Has potential I'm basing my rating off the fact that it won't connect to my google account anymore. When it said work, this app was awesome. Not sure if this is a personal issue or if it's the app its self. |
|
[2012-07-05] James: Looks useful |
|
[2012-07-04] Melissa: Does what it says.. backs up text messages. HTC EVO Sprint 4G |
