Where Does Pulse SMS Store Threads?

Where Pulse SMS keeps threads on Android phones, in private storage plus account sync options. See the folder table below.

Last updated

Pulse SMS is threads first with optional cloud backup. Messages live privately on the phone with carrier logs behind them. Scheduled backups copy them to your own Drive when enabled.

That opt in matters. Without backup, moves lose everything. Exact private names vary by Plus versus free builds. For keeps, turn on scheduled backups and run one manually before switching phones. Same cloud account on the new device restores threads after sign in. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

Does Pulse back up automatically?

Yes, when scheduled backups are on to your personal cloud drive. The phone holds the working threads plus media. Reinstalls restore the same threads after login with backup enabled. Export key threads monthly for keeps outside the app.
