Getting Your SMS Apps Ready for KitKat

Hmm, that last part about SMS Backup&#x2F;Restore only working if you&#x27;re the default SMS app seems a bit annoying.<p>The workaround they suggest - setting yourself as the default SMS app, then unsetting it - seems a bit hacky. I suppose you&#x27;ll also need to handle the case where a SMS arrives whilst you are doing a restore&#x2F;backup, and your app is set as the default SMS app.<p>I wonder if this is a permanent thing from Google, or if it&#x27;s just a temporary thing until there&#x27;s a proper SMS backup&#x2F;restore permission.

Seems pretty likely that Hangouts will be the default SMS app in 4.4 now.
