How to Backup – Restore Call Log and SMS from Android to Gmail


Backing up Phone data time to time is a good practice. With Android, it is possible to keep your Contacts synced with Gmail all the time. Apart from contacts, Android also syncs your app list. So, this feature helps you to get back the apps and contacts when you flash or factory reset your phone. Sadly, there is no in-built feature in Android to Sync your SMS, MMS or call log to and from Gmail.
So how do you benefit by syncing SMS and call log to Gmail? This might be a question in your mind if you are already using SMS apps like Go SMS, Handsent SMS etc. To backup SMS. Well, by sync feature you can get all your SMS and Call Logs directly on the fresh device. There is no need to worry about downloading additional SMS apps and searching for the back up file on your SD card.
