What’s better than using SMS Backup, Print & Restore by GilApps? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.
So, SMS Backup, Print & Restore is one of those apps that just does something practical really well – saves all your text messages, even attachments, and puts them into different files. Running it on PC with BlueStacks feels kind of smooth, since you can actually see your whole message history on a big screen, and it’s a lot more comfortable to pick out conversations or search through old texts that way. It takes your SMS, MMS, and even some newer “advanced” messages, and lets you back them up – not just as boring text files, but as PDFs, spreadsheets, even images if you want things to look like screenshots.
What stands out is how versatile the exporting is. There are options for PDF (great if you need to print a chat for, say, court or just archiving important stuff), but also Excel, CSV, and HTML for people who like seeing everything organized or might want to use the messages elsewhere. It covers emojis, photos, and all kinds of media, so things don’t just look like a wall of text. For restoring, you can bring messages back to your phone or another device without much fuss, and if you’re into cloud storage, backups go right into Google Drive or Dropbox too. The design isn’t flashy, but it’s clean, so you don’t get lost in menus, even if you’re new to this kind of thing. There’s a free version that has some limits (like only letting you share a few messages at once and having ads), but that still lets you check out all the features. Upgrading unlocks everything if you end up needing to save or print tons of chats for whatever reason. It’s just a solid tool if you want to keep your conversations safe, whether it’s personal chats, important info, or something more official.
Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
