I need to print text conversations from my phone. Is there a way to export an entire conversation with time stamps and then print said conversation with timestamps. Is there a way to do this without downloading some third party software? Please let me know. Thanks.
iPhone 6, iOS 12
The only way would be if you were to do screenshots of the conversation. Otherwise, you would need 3rd party software, and they are not good at the separations and printing time stamps. This is something that Apple has not supported.
Use something like Phoneview (https://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/) to extract your messages to a Mac as PDF. There is similar software for windows (iExplorer I think is one). This are for fee software tools, but their price is not that much (PhoneView is $30).

PhoneView does a great job at separation and printing time and date stamps.
Thanks for that. It has been quite a while since I used TouchCopy, and mine was really only for archiving, and more to be able to download a voicemail. At that time, we couldn't get them any other way.
Never used TouchCopy. But, PhoneView does a nice PDF that has bubbles and the pictures of the sender and everything. Or, the txt version which, may be comma or tab delimited, has all the data laid out in an easy to read way.
One program for Windows that I am aware of it TouchCopy, and it is in the same price range. They have a free version, but you may need the purchased one depending on how much you have to download.
Thanks for that. Since I have begun my adventure into the Mac computer realm, it is good to know.
