Hello

Indeed could be interessting. Actually I use this app to do it : https://f-droid.org/fr/packages/com.github.tmo1.sms_ie/
It's more complete as managed some other backups.

I don't know if it possible to isolate this feature and communicate/configure/delegate it to an another app.

Maybe it should be on org level as calls, settings could be saved same way and add it to commons library?

Great App Suite : Messages, Phone, Contacts and others !!!

Is this Messages App by design without Internet access ? Like Phone or Contact ?
My question relates to a recent Feature Request for Backup and Sync for the Phone App, which I submitted , and could be applied for Messages and Contacts apps as well.

Would it be helpful (and ethical ?) to provide examples of other FOSS projects with those Backup/Sync features to help bolster design and coding ?

@mahdiaqallal All Fossify apps don't have Internet access.

It is already implemented in Fossify Contacts and Calendar. So team have example of implementation.
