What is a .VZM file?
A .VZM file is a type of file known as a Verizon Messages Backup. It is used to store backups of text messages from Verizon Messages or Verizon Message+, which are messaging applications provided by Verizon Wireless for its users. These files help in keeping a record of text messages that have been sent or received using the Verizon messaging apps.
The content inside a .VZM file includes one or more text messages and these files are formatted in XML, which is a standard way to store data in a structured text format. Because .VZM files are essentially text files in XML format, you can open them using any program that can read text files.
Here are some programs and platforms that can open a .VZM file: 1. **Text Editors**: - **Vim**: A powerful text editor used by programmers. - **Microsoft Notepad**: A simple text editor included with Windows operating systems. - **Apple TextEdit**: A text editor included with macOS. - **Google Chrome Text**: A text editor available in Chrome OS. - **Any other text editor**: Since .VZM files are text-based, they can be opened by any text editing software.
2. **Verizon Wireless Message+**: - This app is specifically designed for managing messages on Verizon devices and can directly open and manage .VZM files. It is available on multiple platforms including iOS, Android, and web browsers.
To view the contents of a .VZM file, you can simply open it in any of the text editors mentioned above. If you are using a Verizon device and have the Verizon Messages or Verizon Message+ app installed, you can also use these apps to open and manage your .VZM files directly. This allows you to restore your message backups onto your device or manage them in other ways.
