How can I download all of my text messages onto my computer to turn into a file?

I need to download all of my text messages, or at least as much as possible, in regards to a court case for evidence purposes.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Hi there warpaint05,


If you have a Mac device and keep your messages up-to-date between your Mac and iPhone, then on your Mac you can open the Messages app, select the applicable conversation thread, then go to File and choose print. Please keep in mind this won't automatically print the entire thread by default, you may need to scroll up before going to File to print out more of the conversation history.


If you prefer to see a different method to achieve what you're looking for, please provide feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple


Take care!
