How to backup txt messages in iphone6 ?

when i go to settings-icloud, don't see txt message apps bing backup. I can see other such as context, photos etc.
Thank you

If you are looking at Settings > iCloud, that is the list of apps that are or can be synced to iCloud.
There is a list of choices you can make about what to include in an iCloud backup. That is at Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage > Backups > (click on device) > Backup Options.  I believe that list does not show Messages because backing up Messages is not optional (i.e., they are automatically included in a backup).
Just in case you aren't already aware, the only thing you can do with the Messages backup is to restore as part of a complete restore to an iOS device. There are a number of 3rd party apps that allow you to copy messages to another device. One example is http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/

  • HT3406 how to backup text messages?

    I read that text messages can be backed up but no place do I see an option to do this. How can I backup and then restore all text and imessages?

    Why is this so? Does Apple have a reason for forcing restore of backed up data t be all or none? I am spoiled by Windows where I can backup whatever content I choose and restore whatever content I choose from any variety of backups. This gives an enormous advantage over the all or nothing approach currently the case with Apple.  Is the software sold outside the Apple store acceptable to do these tasks?
    Because that is the way that Apple wants to do it.
    As far as a reason, only Apple would know that, and speculation is prohibited here on the forum.
    Backup and restore on iOS devices has always been all or none. You cannot install software on the iPhone that does not come from the App Store unless the device is jailbroken, and discussion of that is also prohibited.

  • How to backup text messages in iCloud?

    Hello everyone,
    Just before the release of the latest iOS upgrade, i want to know whether we can actually backup the text messages on iCloud or we need to do any third party installations to do the process. I have a lot of text messages that are need to be retrived back after the upgrade.
    Thanks

    Those settings only reflect the things you have the option not to include in the backup, not everthing that is backed up.  This article explains what is backed up:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859.  You will not that is says, in part:
    You get 5GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    Messages are included in the backup, they just don't appear in the setting you are looking at because you don't have the option to not include them in the backup.

  • HT4910 how to backup text messages

    If the messages were on your phone when you last backed it up, restoring to the entire backup should recover them.

  • How to backup messages in Spice fire one?

    I am using Spice fire one and want to reset it but I do not know how to backup my messages because it contains really important messages.

    Hi abhipuru,
    Unfortunately, there are no native features in your device to backup your SMS messages.
    You may contact the manufacturer of your phone, Spice, and they may be able to provide you with a solution for this.
    You may also be able to backup some information in your device using the application PC-Sync from the Firefox Marketplace:

  • How do i view messages sent but deleted?

    does anyone know how to view txt messages sent from my device but previously deleted?

    jbom9000,
    That's a good question.  How long ago did you delete the message? What model phone are you using? If you had your messages backed up with the Verizon Cloud application, then you'd be able to retrieve this message when restoring from the Cloud.

  • How do I use a MyVerizon ringtone I received in the form of a txt message? The long touch method on the media does not work, btw.

    I purchased a ringtone on My Verizon via my computer. They sent me txt message with the media but I can't figure out how to save it as a ringtone. The long touch method doesn't work. It's not anywhere in my media files, and frankly I just joined verizon but they have proven a bit difficult. On thin ice already, this isn't helping.

    Have you managed to save it to your phone?  If so, download a file explorer app (like Estrongs file explorer) from the Play Store.  Open up the file explorer app and navigate to the "Download" folder.  Scroll through your downloads to locate the ringtone file.  Select it and use the file explorer's copy or cut function to put the ringtone file in the clipboard.  Back out of the "download" folder to the "sdcard" level.  Then look for a "ringtones" folder.  Select it to open it and view the contents.  Using the file explorer, paste the ringtone file to that folder.  Back out of the file explorer app.  The ringtone will now be available in the "phone ringtone" selection list.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • After the latest update my phone shows I have a new TXT Message and there are NO TXT messages. How do I fix this?

    After the latest update my phone shows I have a new TXT Message and there are NO TXT messages. How do I fix this? I have tried clearing the cache, I have tried the factory reset, I have no 3rd party messaging apps and have done noting different with my phone that I have been doing the last 6 months.

        Hi Johnnybdamned!
    I regret to learn of any issues after the software update. Let's check some things out on your phone! Does the text message say who it came from? Is it a contact you message on a regular basis? Are you using the messaging application that came with the device, or a 3rd party application?
    I recommend deleting any unneeded messaging threads and then powering the device off/on. Keep me posted!

    How do I retrieve messages, iMessages, emails in I icloud backup?

    The only way to access text messages in the backup is by restoring the backup to your device.  This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.  The backup doesn't include email.  It does include your email account settings, but not the actual email.  Restoring a backup will not recover deleted email.
