I'd like to download the message history from the Messages app, and am not sure how to do this. Searching the internet, I see 3rd party backup software that claims to do this, but I'm wondering if there's an Apple-approved way to do this.
You can either take screen shots of your messages, or select multiple messages, copy, and paste into a text document.

As for Apple...
Are these on a Mac?:
Boot up a Mac associated to this account, making sure it does not connect to the internet upon boot (perhaps powering off your router?). While WiFi is off, try exporting your messages. to a different location (i.e. external hard drive).
