Any way to backup Advanced Messaging Texts?

[paleG1]

Has anyone found a way to back up all your texts, including those sent or received using Advanced Messaging?

I've discovered that all the apps that I've tried so far can't "see" texts that were sent or received using Advanced Messaging. This includes:

- SMS Backup+
- SMS Backup and Restore
- GO SMS Pro

The only thing that does work is the built-in AT&T Messages Backup & Sync service, but that only keeps the last 90 days of messages.

I'm looking for a way to back up all my messages so I can do a factory restore on my AT&T Galaxy S7 because it's running really badly after the Nougat update (eating up my battery like it's candy).

Thank you!

So this "Advanced Messaging" is a proprietary AT&T only service. If Samsung Smart Switch doesn't back it up, think you might need to contact AT&T tech support, and enquire what backup provisions they have, if any. I don't think that regular SMS backup apps will help here, because this isn't SMS.
