Method 1: Using Android Built In SMS Backup
Google has become smarter, and they have given a perfectly updated version of the android operating system for smartphone users. Since the latest update, Google has given a new option to automatically backup the data from your smartphone, but first, it will require you to perform just a few actions. You can store your SMS messages by using this pre-built restore data feature in your android smartphone, and it will be saved in google drive. You can backup the required data by going to Settings>system>backup>.
However, there is one catch to all of these is that you can’t permanently save the data on your google drive but after some time it will be gone, and without using specified SMS backing up applications you cannot back up the SMS data.
