Quick Methods to Print Text Messages
Need your messages printed right away? Here are some quick solutions:
Screenshots
- Take screenshots of your conversations
- Email the screenshots to yourself
- Open on your computer, format, and print
While simple, this method can be time-consuming for longer conversations and won't look very professional.
Other Backup Tools on the Market
Most existing solutions have major drawbacks:
- iMessage backup tools are expensive ($40/year) and barely work, especially with iOS updates
- Android backup apps have inconsistent results and limited formatting options
- WhatsApp's built-in export creates messy, hard to read text files
The reality is, there aren't many reliable ways to print your messages and make them look good. That's exactly why we built My Forever Books - to give you an easy, affordable way to preserve your texts in a format you'll actually want to keep.
