How do I back up and restore my texts.

[Windows Central Question]

I have a Lumia 950XL and cannot backup or restore my texts. I received this path to back and restore...Go to Settings > System > Messaging and turn on Text backup.

I follow the path, but my phone does not have Text backup!

Open all settings and then go to extras and you should see contacts and messaging backup. If you don't see that you may need to install it first. If you need to install it go the store and search for contacts+message backup. Once installed you should see the option in your extras section.
