Is there a method to set an iPhone up as "new" but retain SMS messages? I would like to try fixing poor battery life by establishing a new phone profile, but the only content I need are old SMS messages, everything else can be pulled from iCloud.
Got a tip for us?

I used some program to restore only sms (iBackupBot), but it didn't fix my main problem (battery drain with phantom usage).
Eventually I decided to export my sms from the backup to a pdf file and make a clean restore on my phone. Better than nothing and fixed the problem
