I have been using this app for many years but recently started facing an issue related to time zone for the messages that are restored and the sim is also interchanged in many cases. The timing of the messages are almost changed by 12 hrs which can be seen after the backup. Please provide the necessary solutions.

Verizon getting rid of Messages + recommended switching to Google Messages. I was in the process of switching my number to a new phone. When I got the sim installed into the new phone everything transferred fine except for my Messages from the old phone. I couldn't get any help from Verizon ot Google but this app took care of the problem. You will need to answer several prompts so take your time and just backup the things you need to. It will take quite awhile to backup then restore on new phone
