SMS Import / Export is a free, open-source Android utility for backing up and restoring messaging and communication records. It supports SMS, MMS, call logs, blocked numbers, and experimental contact importing and exporting. Data is saved in JSON or newline-delimited JSON formats for portability and external processing. MMS attachments can be preserved alongside message metadata inside compressed ZIP archives. Users can filter messages before exporting, counting, or deleting them. Scheduled exports automate recurring backups with configurable retention settings. Optional encryption protects exported information and supports secure restoration. The application works without root access and uses Android's Storage Access Framework to access local or compatible cloud storage locations.
