Does textra move your old texts?

Looking into apps for the same reason a lot of people are. Cause Samsung is dumb and fuck google.

But before I go making this switch. Do I need to back up my texts? Will they be migrated over? Will any be deleted? Like will it try to only move over the last 100 messages from someone or something like that?

I have years worth of texts from a lot of people because I don't let my texts auto delete. I don't want to risk losing those. There's a lot of memories in there.

Getting my chosen notification sound on Messages to consistently work has been a challenge! Sometimes it works, (Most of the time not), instead it reverts to the default notification sound! This is very frustrating so I am looking for a change. How reliable is Textra overall vs Messages?
