Can SMS records be used as legal evidence?

Legal analysis: SMS can be used as evidence. After the lawsuit is filed, the notarized documents and short messages can be handed over to the court, and the other party will conduct cross-examination during the court session, and finally the court will recognize its probative effect. Don't delete some important messages that are stored in your mobile phone, especially those that often appear in life, such as asking for money or the news that both parties negotiate divorce. These are all very important.
