Is it possible to archive text messages on S21 FE? I've gone through everything and it just doesn't seem to exist as an option.

Please consider different circumstances Samsung. There are victims of crimes that need to keep some text conversations for legal reasons yet also don't want to be reminded and triggered everytime they go to open their messages.

Do better Samsung. Thx.

You can use SmartSwitch program from computer to do Text Messages backup.

You can also go to Account backup -> backup data. Select Messages to backup. Then you can restore the messages if needed from backup date.

But I don't see Archive option for messages.

Switch to Google Messages (Samsung's Moderators are also recommending that you do). 

You can easily archive your texts with Google Messages.

Hi, we recommend to use Google Messages instead of preloaded Samsung Messages App.  

Download from Google Play store:  Google Messages and set as default. So that, it will be easy for you to archive your texts using Google Messages.
