How can I edit iMessages

For the phone, you can make screenshots of the thread and paste them in a Word doc, or get smth like iMazing that allows exporting messages in PDF.

For Mac, open the thread in question, select the text you want to export and just transfer it to a text doc with Cmd + C/Cmd + V.

Good afternoon bobfromnorth battleford,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand you have several weeks worth of iMessages that you would like to forward or print. The process is the same whether on an iPhone or a Mac, but it may be a bit easier on the larger computer screen.

If you are trying to gather specific messages into one place, you can select, copy and paste the text from the message into a document using the Pages app or the Notes app, for example.

You can also take screenshots of the conversations that you want to archive.

On a Mac, if you want to save an entire conversation, you can open Messages, select the person, and then from the Menu bar choose File > Print. Click the down arrow beside PDF and choose Save as PDF. Then you can print all or some of the pages that result.

The resource below will explain how to archive messages on your iPhone or Mac:

Take care.

Hi bobfromnorth battleford,

For the copy and paste option, you would have to work with one message at a time, press and drag over the text to select it, then copy the text and paste into a Pages or Notes document. I personally find it easier to take a few screen shots, crop them in Photos, and paste them into a document.

Take a screenshot on your iPhone

Take care.
