Oh, for sure, I've got you covered! Printing out text messages from an Android phone can be a bit of a hassle, but there are a few ways to get around it.
First off, connecting your phone to your computer is a solid start. Since you're on Windows 11, you might not need any fancy software to transfer your messages. Here's a step-by-step approach you could try:
Use Your Email:
- Open the text messages you want to print.
- Instead of taking a screenshot, you could select the text directly and share it via email to yourself. If your messaging app doesn't allow for easy text selection, then the screenshots might still work—just email them to yourself.
- Open the email on your computer, download the screenshots or copy the text into a Word document, and then print them out.
Use a Third-Party Computer Program:
- There are third-party programs that you can install on your Windows 11 computer to help manage and print text messages from Android phones. Programs like DroidGeeker can connect to your phone and print out your messages.
Remember to double-check the legal requirements for presenting text messages as they may need to be in a specific format or may require certain information to be included to be considered valid.

Thank you for your reply. Email uses different formatting than SMS, so the transferred messages may not appear in the same formatting as they do on the Android phone. This can lead to a loss of context or misunderstanding when viewing the transferred messages on the Windows computer. Next I will try third-party professional software, hoping that they will bring me luck.
