SMS Backup & Restore APK listing review
SMS Backup & Restore is a Tools app from Firehawk with the package name `all.backup.restore`. The listing describes backup and restore for SMS, contacts, call logs, calendars, apps, and other phone data to storage and Drive, scheduled automatic backups, backup destination selection, migration between devices over Wi-Fi, app backup to storage or Drive, contact restore, call log restore, calendar restore, reboot guidance after message restore, and safelist guidance when task killer apps interfere with automatic backup.
Listing Profile
The local metadata shows version 2.3.5.2, an update date of February 20, 2025, and a release date of February 19, 2022. Installs are listed at 1,000,000+ with a score around 3.58 from 24,017 ratings. The mixed rating suggests users should test backup and restore before relying on it.
Backup Scope
The app covers very sensitive data: texts, contacts, call logs, calendars, and app installers. This can be valuable before a factory reset or phone migration. It can also create large copies of private communication that must be stored securely.
Restore Expectations
Message restore may depend on the default SMS app, Android permissions, and device behavior. The listing notes rebooting if restored messages do not appear. Users should run a small test restore and confirm messages, contacts, call logs, and calendar entries appear correctly before wiping a phone.
Storage And Drive Risk
Backups saved to phone storage or Drive can be exposed if the account, folder, or device is compromised. Users should know where the backup folder lives, whether files are encrypted, and how to delete old copies after migration. Drive access should be granted only to a trusted account.
Ads, Purchases, And Permissions
The metadata marks SMS Backup & Restore as free, ad-supported, and offering in-app purchases. Expected permissions include SMS, contacts, call logs, calendar, storage, notifications, and network. These are broad but tied to the stated features, so the live permission screen should be reviewed carefully.
Automatic Backup Reliability
Scheduled backups are useful only if the app can run in the background. Battery savers and task killers may stop it. Users should verify recent backup timestamps and periodically inspect backup files rather than assuming the schedule is working.
Review Checks
Confirm the package `all.backup.restore`, developer name, current version, privacy policy, live permissions, Drive behavior, encryption options, migration flow, and purchase terms. Recent reviews should be checked for failed restores, missing messages, ads, subscription complaints, and background backup failures.
FungoApp Review View
SMS Backup & Restore can be important during migrations, but it handles deeply private records. The review should emphasize encrypted storage, test restores, Drive account safety, broad permissions, scheduled backup verification, ad exposure, and the risk of keeping old message backups indefinitely.

For SMS Backup & Restore, use the details below as a checklist before you decide whether the app fits your device, privacy expectations, and use case.
Install decision context for SMS Backup & Restore
SMS Backup & Restore is best reviewed as a Tools listing from Firehawk, not as a direct APK file from FungoApp. The current signals show version 2.3.5.2, Android requirement not listed, last update Feb 20, 2025, rating 3.6 out of 5, install signal 1,000,000+, and monetization that contains ads and offers in-app purchases. Use those signals together: a popular listing can still be a poor fit if the permissions, update age, or account requirements do not match your intended use.
Use-case fit analysis
SMS Backup & Restore is presented around this purpose: "The fastest secure data backup and restore tool on Android!" A good fit is more likely when that purpose matches the category, screenshots, version history, and the kind of access the app requests. If you only need a narrow task, compare this listing with simpler alternatives before leaving FungoApp for the external source.
Permissions and privacy interpretation
SMS Backup & Restore does not include a permission list in the current FungoApp data. That missing field reduces review confidence, so readers should check the Android install prompt and source listing before using personal data or granting sensitive access.
Version and update interpretation
The listing shows version 2.3.5.2, updated Feb 20, 2025, package size not listed, and Android requirement not listed. Newer updates can indicate maintenance, but the practical question is whether the listed Android requirement fits your device and whether recent changes explain why the app needs its current permissions and storage footprint.
Screenshot review prompts
SMS Backup & Restore includes 32 screenshots in the current listing data. Use them to confirm the interface, account prompts, ads, paywalls, editing tools, game style, or workflow before you open the source page. Screenshots are evidence of presentation, not independent proof of package behavior.
Use case fit
SMS Backup & Restore is summarized as: "The fastest secure data backup and restore tool on Android!" Compare that promise with the screenshots, category, update notes, and related apps before installing.
Version and compatibility
The listing shows version 2.3.5.2, Android requirement not listed, package size not listed, and last update Feb 20, 2025. These details matter because older devices, large packages, and stale updates can change the install experience.
Privacy and permissions
SMS Backup & Restore does not include a permission list in the current metadata, so review the source listing and Android install prompt carefully.
Review checklist
- Confirm the developer name and source listing before installing.
- Review version, Android requirement, package size, and update date.
- Compare requested permission access with the feature you actually need.
- Read recent change notes and ratings as signals, not as guarantees of safety.
Comparison prompts
- Compare SMS Backup & Restore's developer and source link with other Tools options before installing.
- Check whether version 2.3.5.2 and Android not listed match your device.
- Review the source listing carefully because FungoApp does not currently have a permission list for this app.
- Compare against related listings such as SOCIAL SEARCH Profile Finder and WebUI X: Portable for feature scope and privacy tradeoffs.
Publisher notes
- FungoApp organizes public listing metadata into review notes and comparison checklists for SMS Backup & Restore.
- FungoApp does not host the APK file, modify the app package, or claim independent file verification from the current data.
- The 3.6 rating suggests readers should compare recent reviews, alternatives, and the app's stated purpose carefully. 1,000,000+ installs indicate broad usage, which helps with discovery but does not prove the package is appropriate for every device or privacy expectation.
