Title: Please help get texts from Android to Windows Computer!
Post by: oneday on July 27, 2020, 03:31:18 PM
Howdy helpful folks!  My, you are an attractive & intelligent bunch :)

I've just switched phones. I don't want or need them to be on my new phone. What I do want is the ability to read them comfortably on a larger screen and easily delete most but save a few. 

I've been searching how to download my texts from my old phone to my computer. Most sites recommend an app for this.  I don't really want to go to the trouble of installing & learning how to use a new app.  Is there a simple way to get my texts into a .docx file or something like that?

If not, what app have you used and do you recommend it?  TIA!

Hi @hdatontodo  - worked like a charm...and it's the same app that is the default on the new phone, so no learning new apps...thanks so much!!!
