As for exporting I suggest sms-ie as it can export SMS+MMS unlike QKSMS, which I might add is unmaintained.

If you don't want something like Android scoped storage to happen to the JavaScript API "for our own good", better not let Google take over the web. They can not be trusted with this much influence.
I actually wrote SMS Import / Export to solve this problem - but it wouldn't have been necessary if Android provided a way to back up arbitrary apps!

Introducing SMS Import / Export
I've long been irked by the lack of an available, straightforward, FLOSS SMS import / export app, so I tried my hand at teaching myself Android development and writing one - introducing SMS Import / Export.

Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year
Third-party SMS and MMS messaging apps already exist on Android, such as QKSMS,[1] Simple SMS Messenger,[2] and a large number of proprietary apps. There isn't a shred of evidence that these non-default SMS/MMS apps increase spam to any measurable extent compared to SMS/MMS apps that are preinstalled on phones.

Try QKSMS it is more visually pleasing.
