    I am thinking about switching to Android, from Iphone X, and I have 5 years of SMS text message threads which I do not want to lose. Is there any way to do this easily when I switch to Android? Will I lose all those SMS conversations ? Your recommendations, insights and guidance is greatly appreciated.

    The app iSMS2droid can move SMS from iPhone to Android and has a very high user rating:

    Step 1) Check https://isms2droid.com for detailed instructions on how to get your iPhone SMS database, then copy it via USB cable/Dropbox/etc. onto your Android phone.

    Step 2) Start iSMS2droid and tap on "Import Messages" to select your iPhone SMS database file.

    Step 3) Choose if you want to import all messages, or select specific conversations by contact.
