How to back up and restore text messages on Android
Step 1: Backing up your Text Messages using Google
By default, the Android operating system uses your Google account to back up your text messages on Google Drive. It also saves other personal data like Call history, device settings, and App data. This ensures that no data is lost in the transition while switching to a new device. Unless and until you have manually turned off backup to Google, your data and that includes SMS text messages are safe. However, there is nothing wrong with double-checking.

4. Now scroll down and tap on the Backup option.
5. Here, the first thing that you need to make sure is that the toggle switch next to Backup to Google Drive is turned on. Also, your Google account should be mentioned under the account tab.

Now, if you accidentally delete certain text messages, the natural reaction would be to restore them from Google Drive. However, the Android operating system does not have any provision that allows you to do so. The backup that is saved on Google Drive can only be downloaded in the event of transferring data to a new device or in case of a factory reset. Yes, you heard it right. Even though your messages are safely backed up on the drive, it isn’t for you to access at normal times.
As mentioned earlier, the only workaround for this problem is to reset your device to factory settings. Doing so will wipe all your data and automatically trigger the backup restoration process. This will bring back any SMS text message that you had deleted accidentally. However, it is quite a steep price to pay to get restore some messages. The other easier alternative is to use a third-party app to back up and restore text messages. We are going to discuss this in the next section.
