What SMS Backup, Print & Restore Is Used For

SMS Backup, Print & Restore is a tools app for phone users who want to save, export, and later restore their SMS, MMS, and possibly RCS message history. Based on the metadata, it appears focused on turning conversations into common file formats such as PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, JPG, HTML, or TXT, which can be useful for keeping local records, moving message archives to a computer, or sharing copies through email or cloud storage.

The app may also be used when someone needs a printed copy of message threads for personal recordkeeping or documentation. Its permissions suggest it needs access to text messages, contacts, storage, and network access to read conversations, write export files, and upload or share backups. Features mentioned in the description include scheduled backups, restore functions on the same or another device, and support for attachments and emojis, so it seems designed for users who want a flexible way to archive message content rather than just view it inside the phone.
