How can I EASILY print a text message? Sending it to my email is OK if that is easiest.

How can I EASILY print a text message from my iPhone 8? Sending the text (not a photo of the text) as an email is a last resort OK. I don't want to send photos of the texts.

The truth is that there is no EASY way to print or even share your text messages. There are, however, workarounds. You do not prefer screenshots and that leaves the only other option. That option is to Copy/Paste the text into an email or a document that you can print later.

You can open the Messages app ➡️ Touch and Hold on a text message ➡️ Copy: Then you can paste that message to your email or a document.

Thank you, Axel. I could paste to another text, but I didn't try to "paste" into an email. I kept trying to "send" it to an email. Duh. As you probably know, no time stamps get copied. YouTube shows how to include time stamps, etc., but the process is much more complicated, and your answer fills my needs for the time being. Thank you again.
