Chat History Backup & Restore on Android Devices
Mixin Messenger for Android allows you to locally back up your chat history. You can then copy the backup folder to a new device to restore your messages, or simply back up and restore on the same device after reinstalling the app.
⚠️ Chat history is stored only on your device. If you delete the app without backing up, your chats will be permanently lost.
