Does Google backup your text messages?

Log in to your Gmail account from a web browser.

You’ll see a new label in the sidebar: “SMS”.

SMS Backup+ automatically backs up your SMS messages as well as your MMS messages.

Not only are all of our text messages there but the pictures we’ve sent back and forth are backup up to Gmail along with the messages.
