Is it possible to print text messages from an iPhone?

You will need a printer compatible with AirPrint over WiFi. Open your text select the Forward iCon, select Print

I'm running iOS6 on iPhone 5, and I don't have the "Print" option in the forward screen as per your instructions (yes, I have an Airprint enabled printer).

@spot-the-dog: Messages > Edit > select the texts you want to print > Forward > and then email them to yourself and then print to AirPrint device, or send them to your computer and print from there.

Less glamours, but less steps, (if you do have an Airprint enabled printer) you can take screen shots (press home button & sleep/wake button simutaneously) and then print from your camera roll.

Open your Text, at the bottom you will see this button select it

You will then see this screen selet the Print button, making sure your printer is connected to your WiFi

What app is this? I am looking in iMessage on my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 and I don't see the bar you are showing. It looks like the bottom control bar in Safari.

There are a couple of programs that you can buy to run on your PC that will look in your iPhone backups and pull the text of your messages out so you can save them on your computer and then print them if you need to. But you cannot directly print a text message, I am assuming you are using the native iPhone Message app which doesn't allow this.

As SGWGINTEXAS says, you can copy the content of a message by pressing on it and then pasting this into an email to yourself and then print that using AirPrint but the Message app itself doesn't support this.

OK, sorry I showed the steps for Airprinting an Email. For Text Message you could dump your screen to the Camera Roll, then open the photo use the same forward button then select the Print iCon.

Yeah, unless you want to deal with the pain of trying to get you messages to your computer, you will have to take a screenshot (by taping the home and lock button at the same time).

If you want to print a screenshot, it will be in the photos app to print ( click the share button and click print). If you so not have a AirPrint printer, there are third-party apps for computers like fingerprint (look it up) that can make a fake AirPrint printer.

If you don't have an AirPrint but you have a wireless printe and a PC you can print with the Print Share app and you have to have it installed on your PC as well

I have an Airprint printer and can print from my 4S- from websites, Notes, etc. but it will not print from Photo. Took screen shot of text mesage and it will not print. Keeps telling me computer is out of paper-as I print from these other sources! Any suggestion why? I did get my print by emailing the screen shot to myself and printing from there.

There's no way to do it directly to printer through/via AirPrint? Some of the messages are too long. I can't believe Apple doesn't include a print option for iMessages/texts/SMSes? Other apps like e-mails are fine to the printer.

I want to add something more.

In most cases, you would need to use a paid third party 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 prints creens of each message, then transfer the photos to your computer and print from there.

2 easy ways to print text messages from iPhone:

• Copy the text > Open Notes > Paste > Print from Notes.
• Take a screenshot by pressing the Home and the sleep/wake button at the same time and forward this to your email address or Airprint it to a airtprint capable printer.

There is no direct way to print text messages from iPhone. Apple suggests taking screenshots of text messages, which will work perfectly if you want to print few text messages. But if you want to transfer or print multiple iPhone SMS or a long text conversation you have to rely on some third-party tools. But some program someone recommending is a bit on the expensive side. There are cheap and useful applications like FonePaw iOS Transfer, which I'm using now.
