ECAMM PHONEVIEW REVIEW SOFTWARE
Sticking with software vetted and approved by Apple for its app store is one way to “play it safe,” but there are other software programs which are still safe and good but not within Apple’s App Store ecosystem. Especially when it comes to the sensitive information we keep on our phones, like contact information and credit card / banking information, it’s vital to be wary and only download software programs you trust based on the recommendations of others as well as posted reviews/recommendations on trusted websites. It’s very important when downloading any kind of third party software like this to be careful the program is well rated/reviewed and not some kind of malware.
ECAMM PHONEVIEW REVIEW FOR MAC
The two primary software applications I found for Mac computers which allow full iPhone SMS backups (along with other features) are iExplorer ($35 for a single license) and PhoneView ($30). I didn’t find any recommendations for iOS (iPhone/iPad) apps for doing this, but did find several good recommendations for Mac software applications.Īnyone had good success with an iPhone app that lets you export text messages?
I tried to get app suggestions from others for SMS exports via Twitter but didn’t come up with many, so I had to turn to Google. App Store ratings are generally a good way to determine if an app is worth buying, as long as the app version has been out awhile and there are a few current ratings. There are a few apps available for iOS on the App Store for “SMS Export,” but none of them are well rated over three stars. Here are the steps I followed to backup SMS messages and my lessons learned. This is something that doesn’t work on my iPad in the Messages app for all my contacts – perhaps because not all the text messages I’ve sent or received are “ iMessages.” I ended up working with the Mac app PhoneView from Ecamm, which has a partially functional demo but costs $30 for the full version, to backup SMS messages from my iPhone tonight. On the iPhone, however, it’s possible to “scroll back in time” and make past SMS / iCloud messages load up. While the Messages app on a Mac or iPad can keep copies of many text messages sent by and to an individual user, on my own iPhone those apps don’t include complete backups of messages. I’m helping a friend who needs to backup text messages and other data from a family member’s iPhone, so I’ve been doing research to figure out the best and most inexpensive way to create these backups.
