Hello friends,
I'm asking for your help here. I'm running iOS 8.4.1 on my iPhone and i want to do a clean install of iOS 9 because
1. iBooks no longer works (crashes when i hit the 'table of contents' button while reading a book). It worked fine until about 40 days ago.
2. Reminders stopped working when i updated to 8.3
I'm sure iOS 9 clean install will get rid of the above issues but the problem is that a clean install means I'll also lose all my SMS and iMessages because I won't be restoring from the 8.4.1 backup.
Is there a way i can backup only my messages somewhere and restore them when on iOS 9?
I use iTunes for backup. Does icloud backup provide option to backup only messages? Or any other ideas please. Thank you!
