iMore Question

I want to be able to email or print a history of imessages from one of my friends.

I want to be able to email or print a history of IMessages from one of my friends. There are several months and hundreds of IMessages.

I currently have an IBM home computer. And, scrolling back to the beginning is difficult due to the amount of messages. I tried to send them individually, but this will take a long time.

Is there an easier way?

Thanks,
Julie

Did you mark the individual messages? You can mark them, then email them all at one time.
1. Toggle off iMessage (only works SMS.)
2. Long press on a message and tap "More".
3. Mark all the messages to send.
4. Tap the forward arrow in the lower right corner.
5. Enter your email address at the top.
6. Hit send
It will look like this in mail:

Toggle iMessage back on.
