How do I print text messages from iPhone for court hearing?
- Sep 15, 2025Haha I feel you — easiest way is to use something like DBack or similar SMS export tool, pull the texts to your PC, then just hit print, done! See this tutorial: https://www.wizzgear.com/print-text-messages-from-iphone 
There are two free ways to print out iPhone text messages for court use:
Using Screenshots:
Scroll through your Messages conversations and take screenshots of each message you need. Then send these screenshots to your computer via AirDrop, email, or WeChat for printing.
Using the Messages app:
If using a Mac, make sure your iPhone and Mac are logged into the same Apple ID and have iMessage syncing enabled. Open the Messages app on your Mac, find the conversation you need, select all of it, copy it (Command+A, Command+C), and then paste it (Command+V) into a Pages or Word document for printing.
Neither method requires third-party paid software.
