The phone app (by Google) has 700 mb of data on the phone. What is that? Call history? Contacts? Then what is in the contacts app? Is it safe to delete?

You should be able to export both contacts and texts if the backup app is given contacts permission and to be set as the text app temporarily.

Not sure about the text multimedia. If it's in the system text database it can be exported, if the Messages app has it in its private data then tough luck.

Well you can probably still back it up to Google.
