Nejčastější dotazy

Can I get my text messages back even if I have gotten rid of my old phone?

It depends. If you already had message backups enabled, then you should be able to get them back. But if not, it is probably too late. Messages are saved locally to a phone unless you have backups enabled, meaning if you get rid of the device, the messages will be gone, too.

Will text message backups take up space in my Google Drive or iCloud account?

Yes, but the exact amount depends on how many there are, how long they are, and whether they contain images and other forms of content in addition to text.

I don’t want my messages continually saved in a backup account forever; can I just back them up once for the transfer process?

Yes, you can choose to back up your messages only for the transfer process and then revoke the relevant permissions in settings once everything is complete.

Switching to a new Android from an iPhone doesn’t mean leaving your iMessage and WhatsApp chats behind.
