Research direction

The bug is in the MMS export functionality. Look at the export code that handles MMS messages, specifically the query or filter that retrieves MMS entries. The closed PR #673 may provide context on attempted fixes. Start by finding the export feature implementation and the MMS database access code.

GitHub releases

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Export messages from settings, (first time exporting on both sms and mms are selected, toast : export is successfull, 👍 )
  2. Inspect the saved json filesize, (file is only a 679.1k, I do expect above 160M),
  3. Export again with only mms enabled, (toast : No entries for export have been found)
Expected behavior

SMS and MMS are reliably exported.)

Actual behavior

MMS db is not exported at all. Im unshure if the 679.1k file is a complete SMS db dump too.
Im also unable to wipe the application at this time and my last good backup dates 19.05.25 a 131.5M file, exporting and importing it worked as a side note in May.
