Introduction

Call logs are important on your device, as they provide info on all instances of phone calls made to and from your phone. This data includes the contact's name (or number if they are not saved as a contact in your device), as well as time, date, duration and whether a call was made, missed, or unanswered.

If you wish to backup a log of phone calls made and received on your Android phone, please be aware that your Android phone only stores the last 30 days of call logs. To keep a record of call logs for a longer period, we would recommend doing a backup on a monthly basis.

Here's how backup your Android phone call history, completely free...

1. Download and install Transfer Companion on your Android Device.
2. Tap 'Export Call Logs'.
3. Tap 'All calls' to back up all of your phone's call logs, or select an individual contact to back up.
4. The selected call log will now be shown on your device. Click 'Export'.

Detailed Steps

On your Android device which has the call logs that you would like to back up, go to the Google Play Store. Find, download and install Transfer Companion to your device. This is completely free of charge.

Once installed, run Transfer Companion on your device. Tap the 'Export Call Logs' option.

Transfer Companion will show the selected call log on your device's screen. Tap 'Export'.
