I have just bought a new Oppo phone and want to copy my old txt messages from my Samsun phone.

I have done a Google on this with various results and want to know the easiest way to do this ?

Thanks

Bernard

I've used this successfully in the past: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontactspro

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Oppo have their Clone Phone app during setup. Install the same app on your old phone (choose this is the old phone, duh), pair the two handsets & watch magic happen. All your stuffs come across, WiFi passwords, text messages, the lot. Except for Signal & WhatsApp messages, they require individual treatment.

If you don't mind me asking, what Oppo phone did you get? With Queens Birthday sales coming up I'm looking to upgrade my current Samsung A7(2017).

For those looking for a non-Oppo solution, give SMS Backup & Restore by SyncTech a try.

Good idea. A cloning app isn't much use if your phone gets lost or dies completely.

+1 I've had this app for several years, doing an automatic weekly backup of txts and call history to my Google Drive. Peace of mind, but has also been handy when migrating to a new phone.
