Is this possible??? I have a very important iMessage on my other iPhone, unfortunately the screen shattered and I cannot connect it to my PC nor can I press any keys on it.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Not possible with a shattered screen. To access it or do anything at all with it, you need a functional touch screen to enter commands and input.


If it is just the display, you may be able to get that replaced without losing any content on the device (no guarantees of that, but usually a simple display replacement should not require resetting and erasing the device).
