importing messages not possible

[MolendijkM]

Hi, I am having an issue with importing messages. Importing calls and contacts worked fine, but when I try to import messages, they are all greyed out. smsimportexport is the default sms app. the messages are in the .json format, and when I open one in text editor they have content. I tried re-installing the app but this did not help. How can I import my sms messages?

edit I have to point out that the files were created with sms-ie itself (scheduled export, with removal of old exports (which were not deleted by the way))

Same issue here. Only files with .json suffix are enabled to import messages. Extracting the messages.ndjson to messages.json doesn't work either. There is an exception an array is expected.

Issue appears on Android13. (exported on Android9)

It seems the json structure was not exported as array but an array is expected. I extracted the json file from the zip and modified it in a simple manner.

Original version

{ <record> }
{ <record> }
{ <record> }

Modification

[
{ <record> },
{ <record> },
{ <record> }
]

I pushed the json file to my device and the import was successful but i lost my MMS in case i pushed the json and not the zip.

I have an old .json export. Now I want to import it to my new phone where the app expects a .zip import. is there a way to convert?

Please see issue #117. If you still have trouble, please report the problem with more details, including the version of the app used to export and import.
