I print lots of stuff from my iPhone to my printer, but can’t figure out how to print a message from the Messages app without just saving the screen to photos and printing from there - any ideas?

Hi jimwagner23,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with printing threads from the Messages app on your iPhone. We'd like to help.


Currently, the method you're using is the best way to print messages as there isn't a direct way to print directly from this app. Please leave Product Feedback about this so Apple can hear that this is a feature you'd like to see.


Hope that helps!

Cheers.
