My wife passed away this past June and we dated for about two years. Knowing what the future held, we married in April, 2019. I am trying to download my entire text thread (about two years worth of texting between us) and seamlessly read it. Any suggestions on how this can be accomplished? Thanks.
iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)
Hi mike607,
You should be able to do this by opening the Messages App on the Mac, selecting the particular thread and then scrolling to the top/beginning of the conversation.
Then in the File Menu you can select Print and then chose to save it as a PDF rather then sending it to the printer.

Hi,
I know of no way to make the iPhone print out any part or the whole of an iMessages or SMS conversation.

HI,
As I said in my first reply it can be done on a Mac.
I also made that issue specific in my reply to the other poster Elliekeys
I am sure that you should be able to Print them from an iPhone.
However looking for a Setting/Button/Option I could not find one in iOS 12's version and as I have both Mac and iPhone the Mac tends to be my first device.

Points
I have spent more time looking for a Print option on the iPhone but still have not found it.

Hi,
I also cannot find an option to use a Share button that normally gives Apps the access to print.
On my iPad I am using iOS 12.0.1

Hi Demo,
Thanks for that. I was unaware of the app.

Thanks Ralph, I really appreciate your help on this. There are several years worth of conversation in the tread and is it possible to go directly to the beginning of the thread without waiting for the screen to refresh so I can continue to scroll back in time? Again, thanks for your help with this.
Oops. Obvious typo: Married in April 2018.
What if you don’t have a mac?
I don't think I was clear with my original question. the messages are on my iphone.
Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate it.
What about from an iPad? I have a thread that I want to print.
You need to use an app like this one. It works on a PC as well as a Mac.

You’re welcome.There are some other ones that I have seen recommended but that was the first one that popped up when I searched.
Download entire text thread and save as a document
