Do you ever wish you had more concrete evidence of things that were said to you over text? Maybe you need to prove a point, settle a dispute or keep a record of important information.<\/p>\n
Whatever the reason, printing out text messages is a great way to keep a hard copy of your conversations, which can come in handy if you ever need to go to court or simply hold someone accountable.<\/p>\n
But how do you print out text messages on your iPhone? It\u2019s not as straightforward as you might think. Unlike some other phones, iPhones don\u2019t have a built-in option to print messages directly from the Messages app. However, there are still some ways to do it, depending on how many messages you want to print and whether you want a physical or digital copy.<\/p>\n

Using screenshots<\/strong><\/p>\n The easiest and quickest way to print out text messages on an iPhone is to take screenshots of the conversation and then print them from the Photos app. This method works well if you only have a few messages to print, and you don\u2019t mind having them in an image format. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n The easiest way to print text messages from an iPhone is to take screenshots.<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n BILL GATES SAYS AI IS ‘PRETTY DUMB’ NOW, BUT PREDICTS EVERYONE WILL HAVE ROBOT ‘AGENTS’ WITHIN 5 YEARS<\/strong><\/p>\n Search for screenshots in the photos app.<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n ‘DO YOU READ ME, HAL?’ SPACE AGENCIES WEIGH PAIRING ASTRONAUTS IN DEEP SPACE WITH AI COMPANIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n Make sure you have a wireless printer within range and connected to your iPhone.<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n You have successfully printed out text messages on your iPhone using screenshots. However, if you have a lot of messages to print, this method might not be very efficient, as you\u2019ll have to take multiple screenshots and print them one by one.

Convert text messages to PDF on Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n One way to save entire text conversations is to convert a chat to PDF from your Mac. However, as you will see by the steps below, if you want to download all the text messages you’ve had with someone over a long period of time, you may have to do a lot of scrolling back, and then it’s possible that your message application may even quit on you. This process is better for a short-term print\/save situation, but is somewhat unreliable if you want to go back a long time to print and save your conversations.<\/p>\n You can convert text messages to a PDF.<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n PDFs are an effective way to save conversations.<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson\u00a0)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Here’s how to save a PDF.<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n MORE: HOW TO USE THE NEW AUDIO MESSAGES FEATURES IN IOS 17<\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Send conversations to a different phone number<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you don\u2019t have access to a printer, but you still want to copy and export your text thread from your iPhone. You can send it to another number and then print it out later. This is good if you want to share some threads of conversations but not your entire text thread you’ve had with someone for years.

Using a third-party app<\/strong><\/p>\n Another way to print out text messages on an iPhone is to use a third-party app called iMazing. This app allows you to export your messages as a PDF file, which you can then print from your computer or save as a digital copy. This method works well if you have a long history of messages to print, and you want them in a text format.
