I just replaced an A10s with a new A12, how can I carry my old text histories with me to the new phone?

Install SmartSwitch on desktop or laptop, connect old phone to desktop / laptop and use it to backup old phone, then connect new phone and restore

Or simply install Smart switch on both phones. Connect via cable and transfer everything directly in one motion.

Thanks it worked after 2 tries. I used WiFi not cable. Would rather not have involved my laptop, thanks 4 the tip. But I used the SmartSwitch when I activated the new phone and it transferred email & contacts but not texts, not sure why, but who cares it's OK now Thanks!

don't worry about it ... you were probably thinking about doing a backup before doing a phone *update* vs a transfer 🙂 😘
