Finally, and easy way to back up your contacts and text messages from your Windows Phone 8 or 10 device

If you've been trying to find a solution on how to copy, export or back up your SMS and text messages from your Windows Phone devices, the way is over. There's now an app in the Windows Store for this. The app is called simply "contacts+message backup" and is published by Microsoft.

In the future versions of the phone, it would be great to have this utility built-in to the operating system.

Hope this helps!
