Can Fossify SMS Messenger import (XML) messages ?

[jehoshua7]

My SMS messages are backed up using "SMS Backup & Restore", see https://www.synctech.com.au/sms-backup-restore/
They are in XML format. Can Fossify SMS Messenger import an XML file please ? All contacts referred to in the XML backup file are already imported into the Contacts app, as a .vcf file , so there shouldn't be any unrelated contacts.

There's no possibility currently. If you'd like, you can create a feature request for it, but I can't guarantee at this moment that we will accept it for development.

Okay, thanks.

@jehoshua7 You can use "SMS Backup & Restore" to restore the messages, and then use Fossify SMS Messenger to read them. Am I missing something?

@antodc - Oh I had no idea that Fossify SMS messenger can read them after an import by "SMS Backup & Restore", thanks. I thought they would use different databases. I was trying to steer away from 'google' apps on a new (de-googled) phone, so am very interested in Fossify, F-Droid, Aurora store, etc.

Yet the "SMS Backup & Restore" app is downloadable from their site, so I don't have to go through a Google store process, so now I am assuming that the "SMS Backup & Restore" app has none of the tracking,etc.

Your solution is a good one, thank you.
