Google Messages is testing an in-app „Backup & Restore“ feature, promising easy backups, end-to-end encryption, and automatic restoration for conversations and media.
For years, Google Messages, the default messaging app for many Android users, has lacked a dedicated in-app backup and restore system. This meant users had to rely on third-party apps or cumbersome workarounds involving Google Drive backups. However, a recent update to the Google Messages beta reveals a native „Backup & Restore“ feature in the works.
According to 9to5Google, the new system, discovered in the latest Google Messages beta (version 20241118_02_RC00), promises a more streamlined approach to message backups.
