"First things first, credit where credit's due: Moving to a new Android phone has gotten a lot easier over the years. 'Twas a time when setting up a new Android device required all manners of hoop-jumping, with virtually no systems in place to help with any of the heavy lifting. These days, Google's got all sorts of systems in place to make the act of backing up and restoring important stuff relatively simple and painless,"
"There is, however, one exception - and that's messaging. For whatever reason, migrating your messages from one Android device to another often seems to go akimbo and fail to properly bring all of your conversations over intact. Or, sometimes, even when it does work right off the bat, a situation arises where you need to repeat the migration a little later - maybe, say, if you set up a new device but don't actually switch your SIM over to it and start using it right away,"
Moving to a new Android phone has become much easier thanks to Google’s backup and restore systems, but message migration often remains problematic. Migrating messages between Android devices can fail to transfer conversations intact or require repeating the transfer later, for example when a new device is set up but the SIM is not immediately moved. Android’s native migration tools have been designed to run once during initial setup and not to be revisited, making post-setup message transfers difficult. A subtle new setting appearing in some Android environments enables easier or repeatable message migration outside the initial setup.
