Android 9 Pie where are SMS stored please? What is the path to the SMS database? Android 9 where are SMS stored please? What is the path?
As mentioned by @alecxs, the sms are stored in the database: &quot;
/data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db&quot; which need root privileges to access it or edit it.
If you don't have root access, you can interact with the table sms in this database using ADB:
list all SMS
adb shell content query --uri content://sms 

list SMS from +2121212121
adb shell content query --uri content://sms --projection address:date:date_sent:body --where 'address=+2121212121'
