Hello FuchsiaFX,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


Based on what you mentioned, you want to transfer your text messages to emails. iOS does not have a direct method for doing this. However, you can copy individual threads and paste them to an email.


  • Touch and hold a message bubble, then tap More.
  • Select the message bubbles you want to copy
  • Tap the forwarding icon
  • The messages you selected will appear in the text field; ready to send as a new message. Instead, tap and hold the cursor and use Select All.
  • You can then select Copy.


Once you do this you can paste your copied content to an email.


Best wishes!
