Does not Backup SMS of Signal App #841
Comments
There are lots (and lots) of issues related to this in the Signal repo. Signal stores its messages in its own database on your phone, different from the default SMS location. There are many people requesting the ability to back it up, either in Signal or by putting the messages in the default location, but that hasn't happened yet. |
Oh, I see. Thanks for the hint, was not aware of this at all. |
@jasonab thanks for the info. for later reference, signalapp/Signal-Android#6012, signalapp/Signal-Android#339 |
I'd also mention signalapp/Signal-Android#5729 as that actually mentions the Android SMS store |
I am using Signal as my default SMS application.
After the first backup with SMS Backup+ I noticed only 25 of the approx. billions of billions of billions messages on the phone were stored on my IMAP server.
In fact, these 25 are coming from the pre-installed system app to handle text messages.
What could I possibly do to remedy this behaviour?
