# RCS Exporter
I've been using the app SMS Backup & Restore for years. After getting a new phone and transferring the messages over I noticed some were missing.
I had been using the app SMS Backup & Restore for quite a while. After getting a new phone and using the app to transfer the messages over as I was used to, I noticed some messages were missing.
I tried to find out why this was happening. It was because of a "new" message type called RCS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Communication_Services
Essentially those messages are stored in a separate database on the phone, hence not considered regular text messages.
SMS BR is not able to export this kind of messages (as of September 2021).
Unfortunately SMS BR is not able to export this kind of messages (as of September 2021).
I didn't want to reinvent the wheel - there are already enough backup/restore apps for SMS and MMS. Instead I just wanted to make an app that was able to export the RCS messages, too. Preferably it should be a format that SMS BR could then import.
