Text messaging has become a vital part of communication in our daily life. Sometimes you may get some important information via SMS that you want to keep and print for further usage. For example, I found this question in Apple Discussion: "Need to print some text messages I exchanged on my iPhone 5S for a court case. How can I do this?" Whatever the reason is, there is always a way to save and print text messages from iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, etc. Below are several approaches to help you do that. Have a try!

Option 1: Take a Screeshot

If you don't have a lot of text messages to print, taking a screenshot and emailing them to yourself can be a nice option. To do this, position the text message on the screen and press the "Sleep/Wake" and "Home" buttons at the same time. Your iPhone will put the screenshot in your Camera Roll and you can email it to yourself to be printed later.

Option 2: Copy and Paste

If you don't need to retain all of the formatting and time and data stamps, you can also copy and paste entire message threads into an email. Open the message thread that you want to save, touch "Edit", select all of the messages, copy and paste them into an email for printing.
