The SMS and call logging is fantastic as it allows my CRM to track my phone interactions with people.

If I may suggest an improvement, it would be good to have an option so that only genuine phone conversations are logged. Maybe an easy way is to not log any call that is shorter than, say, 30 seconds. That would cancel out most unanswered/voicemail calls.

Then when I look through my Gmail/CRM to see when I last interacted with someone, only legitimate conversations will show up.

Thanks!

Tricky to do this reliably. Maybe you can use the "Only back up certain groups" feature to do something similar?

I feel like most people want all logs to be backed up, altho call logs aren't a big thing for me.

Right now, SMS Backup+ is in maintenance mode; no new features will be added. Existing bugs will of course be addressed.

Given this message, I expect this issue to be closed - but as long as it's tagged it doesn't hurt much to leave it open.

What about distinguishing answered vs unanswered calls?
