That’s a real recording: a month of messages with Robert Smith, saved as a four-page PDF in Files. To get it on paper, here’s how to print it:
You: Without a computer? Or screenshots?
Neither. It runs in Apple’s Shortcuts app, right on your iPhone or iPad, and nothing gets uploaded.
Private on your iPhone or iPad, and text messages ready for court
You: Is it private? Will it work in court?
Completely private. The PDF is made right on your iPhone or iPad: no upload, no server, no account. It goes only where you send it.
For court, you’ll get a complete, dated record that’s easy to read and print: the sender and the time on every message, a heading for every day. Whether it’s accepted as evidence is up to the court, so ask your lawyer how to submit it.
You: What else do people use it for?
Custody and divorce
Harassment and threats
Landlords and tenants
Work and clients
Records and backups
Memories

You: Can I export without a computer?
Yes. Texts2PDF runs entirely on your iPhone or iPad, inside Apple’s Shortcuts app. You don’t need a Mac, a PC, a cable or a backup.
You: How do I print text messages from my iPhone?
Run Texts2PDF, choose the conversation and the dates, then tap the share button on the finished PDF and choose Print to send it to an AirPrint printer. You can also save the PDF to Files, or email it to yourself and print it from any computer. Our guide on how to print text messages from an iPhone covers the other ways too.
You: Will a court accept the PDF?
Texts2PDF gives you a complete, dated copy of a conversation that’s easy to read and print. Whether it’s accepted as evidence is up to the court, and your lawyer may also ask you to keep the original messages on your phone. Ask your lawyer how they want it submitted. Texts2PDF doesn’t provide legal advice. See how to print text messages for court.
You: Will it work with WhatsApp or other chat apps?
No, Texts2PDF works with Apple’s Messages app. For WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Signal and Telegram, there’s our app, TextKeep.
You: How do I get the mini-app shortcut after I pay?
Your install page opens right after checkout, and we email you the same link. Open it on your iPhone and tap Add Shortcut.
Texts2PDF can turn this conversation into a PDF.
