How to Save Text Messages from Android to Computer

By Vernon Roderick, Last updated: August 13, 2021

Is it possible to save text messages from Android to Computer? Do you know that, help me? Thanks in advance!

"I am a procrastinator, I'll admit it and I prefer finding the easiest ways to do things. Nothing wrong with it in my own opinion but I'm sure that is a rather unpopular ideology. Anyhow, rather than agreeing or disagreeing, I'm looking for an easier way to handle the hundreds of texts messages that I've saved over the years, and I figured out the ideal set up is to read it on my computer.

I'm not trying to do the impossible here, I realize that sending a reply on my computer is not exactly how it will go but at the very least I think it's easier to read everything on a larger screen. That's all I'm asking here, nothing too impossible, don't you think? Anyhow, someone please drop me a reply or something, I need to know how this is going to happen or if it is at all possible."
