How To Save A Text Message Conversation On iPhone

[jarcohen]

I like the screen record option the best cause with screenshots it takes multiple times depending on how long the conversation is

[RichM]

What a game changer THANK YOU! Screenshots are a hassle because then you have to go back and number them so you have the correct order and then make sure you overlap a little bit so nothings cut out. The first option is clearly the way to go and I thank you very very much.

[SiriusGoddess]

Thank you for this information. I followed your first method by selections the text messages I wanted to save and sent them to my email. It worked including the photos. It was so easy!

[juliedeane]

Thank you. Is there a way to save the verbal texts. My daddy passed away and I want every text picture and recorded message to be saved. I want to save them on several smart media sticks so they are never lost.

[Janeway]

Thank you so very much for this video, it has helped me greatly. I have been trying to find a way to make a backup of the messages my little sister has sent me, as she has now passed away. Thank you again, I used the make a screen recording of them.

Helpful with the Export to PDF option! Thanks!

[riccodman]

There used to be an app that would convert SMS/tests to an email, so you could email the thread to yourself or another party. Wish they would enable that again. That was so much easier.

[DeborahPegues]

Best instructions ever! I really needed this information today. God bless you whoever you are.

[furst]

Omg this was amazing! Thank you! Finally 🙏🏽🥰

Damn shame that they can’t come up with another easier way to transport texts. I’m sure lots of people have tons of texts messages taking up alot of space on their phones. Smmfh.

[Magical_Thinking]

Wow! Thanks for sharing how to save text conversations. This will definitely come in handy.

[edward]

Great video! Question: can you export as a PDF from a Mac desktop an Android text thread?

[matthewkoban]

What about long convos? I don’t really want them forever just want to see what was said but it takes forever. A few months back still takes a long time. Do I just need to plug into a computer?

This android message to my iPhone is quite lengthy. Since it came from an Android, it is not appearing on my desktop messages app. Is there a quick way to 'select all' messages?

[plutoprincess]

With the MAC does it save android messages too? Or just iPhone

[johnbeattie]

On my Mac, you're saying to pull up the conversation I want to save. But the conversation I want to save is on my iPhone, not on my Mac! So how do I pull it up on my Mac? The whole point is to *get it to* my Mac! And the point is also to do so without having to tediously select each message in the thread one-by-one, if there are, say, 150 messages in the thread, on the iPhone.

[avanimishra]

These aren’t any insider hacks at all. You obviously can’t select bubbles a thousand times or do a screen record for long chats.

first method: after marking the entire chat, you can also save it on Notes (even the images)
