How can I download my messages to view on another device
My wife and I have a ginormous message chain that spans a couple years with over 200000 messages. I would love to look back at certain periods in our lives, but the issue is way the message app works makes it a super laborious task (scroll wait, scroll wait). I was wondering if I could have a way to see my messages in a more easily accessible format. I can see it's all on icloud and taking up 240GB and I would love to have it on my pc. I also have access to a mac too if that is the only way, but I don't recall there being that feature on there either. I saw there were some 3rd party apps that did that, but I would like to use icloud since it seems more secure and the data is already all in the cloud. I can't imagine how long it would take to upload all of it from my phone elsewhere again.
If this is not a possibility is there a way to submit a request for a feature (maybe to add it to icloud.com since it already has a couple other apps there)? Or if anyone knows of any good 3rd party tool that also includes images and videos in the upload?
Thank you!
