Would be great to have a backup and restore feature (save SMS messages to json-file and restore after reinstalling).

    You can export and import messages.

    Ah, then I must have trouble finding it in version 14... Could you tell me where to find it? Thank you :-)

    The messages are stored in the OS database rather than this app so you can export and import with other apps. It should also get backed up in Seedvault backups, although that may not work perfectly yet.

    I would like to keep this issue open and get it considered in future. To reiterate, having it would be convenient in the app—

    • It reduces the need to install a separate app to back up SMS.

    • Seedvault is fine but sometime people want to just backup SMS, keep a copy of their inbox.

    • Make a copy of existing inbox before cleaning up the inbox.
