It’s also a good way of stashing your important data away so you can retrieve it if your phone gets lost or stolen, damaged, or you left home in a rage and forgot to carry it with you.
If you own an iPhone and want to avoid frantically deleting one text after another just to create space, there are several options available for you to back up your messages. This way, you can delete the texts from the phone all at once, and make room for other files.
Backup iPhone Messages to iTunes
iTunes provides a robust platform on which you can back up your messages and other data.
This method requires a lightning-to-USB cable, which you’ll use to connect your iPhone to your computer (desktop or laptop). iTunes should open up automatically once the two devices are connected, but if it doesn’t, you can launch it manually.
- Unlock your iPhone if you get the prompt to do so. It’ll appear on iTunes and automatically sync (if enabled) to your computer using iTunes.
- If you haven’t enabled automatic syncing to iTunes, go to Backups on your iPhone and select automatically back up to iTunes.
- Tap Back Up Now to initiate the process. You can also do a one-time manual backup by going to File>Devices and tap Back Up.
- iTunes will completely back up your text messages and other data on your iPhone.
If you want a single data backup on your iPhone, the iTunes backup method is good to use, except you don’t get to choose individual items when you want to restore them to your phone.
