Does anyone know of a way to archive all messages in Android/Google Messages maybe older than a certain timeframe?
I have 100s of old conversations spanning back several years. I finally decided it would be nice to archive (not delete) ones that aren’t relevant at the moment. The only way I figured to do this is swipe each conversation one by one.
Is there a faster way to just do it all in one swoop?
Edit: I wrote a quick script to do it via manipulating the Google Messages webui: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/4646349 Worked for me!
Thanks folks for ideas, but I was talking about just basically ‘hiding’ the conversations by pushing them to the ‘archive’ folder. (I already backup with SMS Backup/Restore).
I decided to write a quick/dirty (no guarantees) tampermonkey script to do exactly what I wanted. If anyone else needs something similar, they can take a look here: https://gist.github.com/csm10495/47c900978866770cdff934f6cd783665
