currently I use another app to save a backup copy of my messages. it would be cool if Textra offered the same service. a way to backup messages and you can put them on Google drive or an external device that way you can always restore them should something happen to your phone. if this was offered as a paid service after a certain amount of text messages where you could pay an extra two bucks if you have over 50,000 messages or something I would purchase it.
