How To Back Up Your Text Messages To Your Gmail Account by djayflex: 11:02am On Oct 01, 2016 |
In the world of search engines, email service and mobile OS, Google has put even the pioneers out of business. Unfortunately, despite all the amazing features that Android OS comes with, it does not allow you to back up SMS to Gmail account but there's a way to make this work. Now there are plenty of apps that let you backup SMS on Android, but there is a special one that enables you to synchronize them with your Gmail account. Now you can not only keep a check on all your emails but your text messages from the same place. Step 1: Enable IMAP Access to your Gmail account Before you can begin backing up your SMS to your Gmail account, you need to grant IMAP access to it. To begin, sign in to your Gmail account from your computer and navigate to Settings->Forwarding and POP/IMAP . The window will show you multiple options to select, so tap on the empty box next to “Enable IMAP”. Now scroll down and click on “Save Changes”, and you’re all set to go ahead and configure the SMS Backup+ app. Step 2: Download and configure SMS Backup+ The app which allows you to back up SMS to Gmail account is called SMS Backup+, and is available on the Google Play Store for free. Simply search for the app. Once the app is downloaded, open it and tap on the “Connect” button to add your Gmail account to the app. A pop-up window will show you the Gmail account (or accounts) connected to your Android device, so tap on the one you want to back up your SMS to. After offering the “Allow” permission to the app from your Gmail account, you will have to confirm backing up the stored messages on your device by pressing “Backup”. You have now successfully backed up your SMS to your Gmail account. Read more: http://www.istylmagazine.com/news/technology/how-to-back-up-your-text-messages-to-your-gmail-account/ |
