SMS Import / Export imports and exports SMS and MMS messages, call logs, contacts, and blocked numbers from and to (ND)JSON / ZIP files. (Contacts import and export are currently functional but considered experimental.) It does not require root.

The primary author of SMS Import / Export is Thomas More. Others have contributed code and translations. The software is copyright 2021-2026, and is released under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later.

SMS Import / Export is a sibling project to sms-db, a Linux tool to build an SQLite database out of collections of SMS and MMS messages in various formats. sms-db will hopefully eventually be able to import ZIP files created by SMS Import / Export, and to export its database to ZIP files that can be imported by SMS Import / Export.

WhatsNew:

- Bump standard flavor `minSdkVersion` to 24

- Switch to unified `versionCode` for both `standard` and `legacy` app flavors

- Add option (on by default) to try to avoid compressing relatively incompressible data when exporting MMS messages (see the "Compression" section of the README for more information) (DustinReynoldsPE)

- Implement various performance improvements (DustinReynoldsPE, Andrew Gunnerson)

- Overhaul scheduled export framework: Add "Export interval (days):" setting and di

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
