In the interest of saving time, unlike this app, i'll give end result 1st. YES IT WORKS. is it efficient? no. is it convenient? no. is it fast? no. is it awful? yes. 3 days, 5 resets and 15 total hours later i was able to transfer my messages after i'd deleted half of them. I did not transfer anything but my messages bc this app is horrible. use any any other app to transfer contacts, photos, history, etc... literally ANY OTHER APP. ultimately it did work. after many errors and hours.
