The obversation might be right, but the conclusion was probably wrong. Might be related to this https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/207#issuecomment-4267866 .
Items with equal data are treated as duplicates, because they are imported with the same timestamp (see link above)?

(Hi,

even after deleting all threads on the phone and doing a full restore,
there are "duplicates" not showing up on the phone whilst they are
present in Gmail.
After further investigation it seems, that those missing "duplicates"
all are items being automatically treated as "signature" (same
number+length+call) and therefore trimmed by Google and replaced with
three dots in their interface.
(ICS / sms-backup+ 1.4.5)

I hope you can do something about that on your end.

Thanks for your helpful application, kind regards.)
