You can't find the text messages anywhere. They can only be seen in the messages app if they're synced.

Re: can not get text messages to show on outlook.

then the info in the forum is incorrect about a messaging folder when you log on over the web?

Threads Merged.

User... Please do not create multiple threads on your issue. It actually works against you as any advice gets scattered around and a coherent conversation cannot develop as easily...


Open Messaging > ellipses (...) > settings > make sure that sync messages between devices is ON

Go to Settings > Update & security > Backup > More options > Back up now

No you can't see them. I never have.

Reset your phone. Sign in with the same Microsoft Account and you will have your messages. It has never failed me.

I think he's referring to see some contact's texts when you log into Outlook.com and look at the history or something. Don't think it was ever an official feature or one that really worked well.

I kinda thought he was referring to the backup file in OneDrive...
