I think there maybe an app that you can use to do that.


but you can also take a snap shot of your text then email it to yourself and then print it out.

I tried that. It copied it all but it was one continual message. It didnt read as a conversation and did not post who from or time and date stamp. It will not work in court because you can go to documents, type whatever you want, and then copy it

As noted above, try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

I use PhoneView and it includes time/date stamp for every message. I export to PDF.

In most cases, you would need to use a paid thirdparty tool to export and then print your iPhone text messages on your computer. If you have a low amount of messages you want to print you can also take printscreens of each message, then transfer the photos to your computer and print from there.

I have a long SMS Text conversation that I really need print from my iPhone 4. Is there any way for me to do this? I know I can send the actual text by clicking "edit" and then selecting all the messages, and then emailing them somewhere, but when you do that, you lose all the date/time information.


I researched prior thread posts and found one from last year that said this wasn't possible, but I find that hard to believe.


Help me Obe Wan Kenobe, you're my only hope...

If you want to print out the text messages of iPhone, first of all, you should backed them up on your computer or Mac, thus you get an direct access to your messages and you are capable to take the next steps to print them out.


Er……This is my own opinion about it, however, I have printed my own iPhone messages successfully in this way!


Hope it helps!😉

Due to the text messages were stored in iPhone's SIM card or phone's memory, so, to print messages from iPhone, you have to extract iPhone data from old backup, as the text message and contacts will be contained in backup when you sync your iPhone to iTunes.

The iPhone stores no user data on the SIM. And no, you don't need to extract anything from an old back up if you use PhoneView or TouchCopy.
