您想在 iPhone 上创建SMS或 iMessage 文本的硬拷贝吗?iOS的消息(Messages)应用程序没有内置选项来打印单个文本或对话线程,因此您必须依靠变通方法。
继续阅读以了解打印 iPhone 短信的三种方法。它们也适用于 iPod touch 和 iPad 版本的信息(Messages)。
在 iPhone 上拍摄和打印(Print Screenshots)消息线程(Message Threads)的屏幕截图
如果您想在 iPhone 上本地打印您的消息,唯一的方法是截屏并使用兼容 AirPrint 的打印机(using an AirPrint-compatible printer)创建打印输出。但是,它既耗时又乏味,尤其是对于冗长的对话。如果感觉太麻烦,请查看其他方法。
1. 打开信息(Messages)应用程序并打开您要打印的 iPhone SMS或 iMessage 文本对话。(SMS)
2. 滚动到对话线程的顶部。反复点击屏幕的最上角以更快地向上滚动。
3. 截取屏幕截图并将其保存到照片(Photos)应用程序。如果您使用带面容 ID(Face ID)的 iPhone ,请同时按下音量调高(Volume Up )按钮和侧边(Side)按钮以截取屏幕截图。在配备Touch ID的设备上,同时按下主(Home)屏幕按钮和侧边(Side)按钮。
4.向下滚动(Scroll)对话线程并不断重复截图。
5. 打开照片(Photos)应用程序,切换到相册(Albums)选项卡,然后点击屏幕截图(Screenshots)。
6. 点击屏幕右上角的选择(Select)按钮,然后按照您拍摄的顺序选择屏幕截图。
7. 点击屏幕左下角的分享按钮。(Share)
8. 点击共享表上标有打印的选项。(Print)
9. 点击打印机(Printer)。
10. 选择您的 AirPrint 打印机。
11. 通过指定份数、颜色、介质质量等设置打印作业。
12. 点击打印(Print)。
13. 等待AirPrint打印机完成打印。
您可以通过应用程序切换器访问(App Switcher)打印中心(Print Center)应用程序来管理打印作业(从屏幕底部向上滑动或双击主页(Home)按钮两次)。
或者,您可以选择将屏幕截图保存为PDF。假设您使用装有 iOS 15 或更高版本的 iPhone,只需在步骤9中点击“(9)打印(Print)”选项(不选择物理打印),您应该能够将其保存到“文件”(Files)应用程序。或者,将图像共享到Windows PC 或Mac(通过Airdrop或Mail应用程序)并打印出来。
(Sync Text Messages)通过 iCloud同步短信并在Mac上(Mac)打印(Print Them)
与 iPhone 不同,macOS 版本的Messages完全能够打印常规文本和 iMessage 对话。如果您拥有Mac,您只需使用与您的 iPhone 相同的Apple ID(如果您还没有)登录“信息(Messages)”应用程序并激活iCloud 中的信息。(Messages in iCloud)
但是,打印输出不会在页面顶部显示联系人的姓名。如果有问题,请查看以下方法。
1. 打开 iPhone 上的设置(Settings)应用程序,然后点击Apple ID > iCloud。然后,确保消息(Messages)旁边的开关处于活动状态。
2. 在 Mac 上打开消息(Messages)应用程序,然后在菜单栏上选择消息(Messages)>首选项。(Preferences)
3. 切换到iMessage选项卡。
4.使用与 iPhone 相同的Apple ID登录Mac ,然后激活(Mac)在 iCloud中(Messages in iCloud)启用(Enable)消息旁边的框。
5.等到(Wait)您的消息从您的 iPhone 同步到您的Mac。
6. 选择要打印的对话线程。
7. 滚动到顶部以加载整个线程。
8.在菜单栏上选择文件(File)>打印。(Print)
9. 选择您的打印机,指定您的打印首选项(份数、纸张尺寸、方向等),然后选择打印(Print)按钮。或者,在底部下拉菜单中选择PDF以将对话另存为(PDF)PDF。
使用 iMazing 在 iPhone 上打印消息(Message) 对话(Conversations)

iMazing 主要以其 iPhone 管理和数据恢复工具而闻名,但也可以让您快速打印文本消息和附件。您可以同时打印单个文本、特定日期之间的消息以及多个对话。您可以选择为每条消息添加联系方式和时间戳。iMazing 还允许您打印WhatsApp聊天记录。
1.在您的 PC 或 Mac 上下载并安装iMazing 。
2. 打开 iMazing 并通过USB数据线连接您的 iPhone。然后,解锁 iOS 设备并点击允许(Allow)或信任(Trust)。

5. 选择侧边栏顶部的向下箭头,然后选择(Down)显示联系人详细信息(Show contact details)和显示所有消息的时间(Show time for all messages)以显示对话中所有消息的联系人详细信息和时间戳。您还可以选择显示回复(Show original messages of replies )的原始消息以在打印输出中显示回复的原始消息。

其他第三方 iPhone 数据管理工具(例如CopyTrans、iMobie和Decipher Tools )也提供打印 iPhone 短信的功能。随意(Feel)尝试一下。

希望本教程中的方法可以帮助您在 iPhone 上打印短信。诚然,它们不是最方便的。但是,除非Apple在 iPhone 的(Apple)Messages应用程序中包含专用的打印(Print)功能,否则您别无选择,只能以艰难的方式获取副本(没有双关语的意思)。
How to Print iPhone Text Messages
Do you want to create hard copieѕ of SMS or iMessage texts on your iPhone? The Messages app for iOS doesn’t feature a built-in option to print individual texts or conversation threads, so you must rely on wоrkarоundѕ instead.
Read on to learn three ways to print iPhone text messages. They also apply to the iPod touch and the iPad version of Messages.
Take and Print Screenshots of Message Threads on iPhone
If you want to print your messages natively on an iPhone, the only way is to take screenshots and create printouts using an AirPrint-compatible printer. However, it is time-consuming and tedious, especially for lengthy conversations. Look into the other methods if that feels too much of a hassle.
1. Open the Messages app and open the iPhone SMS or iMessage text conversation you want to print.
2. Scroll to the top of the conversation thread. Repeatedly tap the top-most corners of the screen to scroll up faster.
3. Take a screenshot and save it to the Photos app. If you use an iPhone with Face ID, press the Volume Up button and the Side button together to take a screenshot. On devices with Touch ID, press the Home button and the Side button together instead.
4. Scroll down the conversation thread and keep taking screenshots repeatedly.
5. Open the Photos app, switch to the Albums tab, and tap Screenshots.
6. Tap the Select button at the top-right of the screen and select the screenshots in the order you took them.
7. Tap the Share button at the bottom-left of the screen.
8. Tap the option labeled Print on the Share Sheet.
9. Tap Printer.
10. Select your AirPrint printer.
11. Set up the print job by specifying the number of copies, color, media quality, etc.
12. Tap Print.
13. Wait for the AirPrint printer to finish printing.
You can manage the print job by accessing the Print Center app via the App Switcher (swipe up from the bottom of the screen or double-click the Home button twice).
Alternatively, you can choose to save the screenshots as a PDF. Assuming that you use an iPhone with iOS 15 or later, simply tap the Print option in step 9 (without selecting a physical print), and you should be able to save it to the Files app. Or, share the images to a Windows PC or Mac (via Airdrop or the Mail app) and print them out.
Sync Text Messages via iCloud and Print Them on Mac
Unlike on iPhone, the macOS version of Messages is fully capable of printing both regular text and iMessage conversations. If you own a Mac, you just need to sign into the Messages app with the same Apple ID as your iPhone (if you aren’t already) and have Messages in iCloud active.
However, the printout will not display the contact’s name at the top of the pages. Check out the following method if that is a problem.
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap Apple ID > iCloud. Then, make sure that the switch next to Messages is active.
2. Open the Messages app on your Mac and select Messages > Preferences on the menu bar.
3. Switch to the iMessage tab.
4. Sign in to the Mac with the same Apple ID as your iPhone and activate the box next to Enable Messages in iCloud.
5. Wait until your messages sync from your iPhone to your Mac.
6. Select the conversation thread you want to print.
7. Scroll to the top to load the entire thread.
8. Select File > Print on the menu bar.
9. Select your printer, specify your print preferences (number of copies, paper size, orientation, etc.), and select the Print button. Or, choose PDF on the bottom pull-down menu to save the conversation as a PDF.
Print Out Message Conversations on iPhone Using iMazing
If you plan on printing lots of conversations or want to prepare hard copies for legal proceedings in court cases, you can use an iTunes alternative called iMazing to help you out. However, it isn’t free and costs $34.99 per license.
iMazing is mainly known for its iPhone management and data recovery tools but also lets you take printouts of text messages and attachments quickly. You can print individual texts, messages between specific dates, and multiple conversations simultaneously. You get the option of adding contact details and time stamps for each message. iMazing also allows you to print WhatsApp chats.
1. Download and install iMazing on your PC or Mac.
2. Open iMazing and connect your iPhone via a USB cable. Then, unlock the iOS device and tap Allow or Trust.
3. Select your iPhone on the sidebar and choose Messages. If you want to print WhatsApp messages, select WhatsApp instead. iMazing will begin creating a backup of the iPhone’s data to local storage. Wait until it completes before you proceed.
4. Select the conversation you want to print. You can also select multiple conversations while holding down the Control or the Command key. If you’re going to print specific iMessage or SMS messages only, hold down Control/Command and highlight them. Or, use the filters at the right corner of the screen to set a date range.
5. Select the Down arrow at the top of the sidebar and select Show contact details and Show time for all messages to show the contact details and time stamps for all messages within the conversation. You can also select Show original messages of replies to display the original messages to replies in the printouts.
6. Specify your print preferences (number of copies, paper size, orientation, etc.) and select Print.
Other third-party iPhone data management tools such as CopyTrans, iMobie, and Decipher Tools also provide the ability to print iPhone text messages. Feel free to try them out.
Pick Your Method and Start Printing
Hopefully, the methods in this tutorial helped you print text messages on your iPhone. Admittedly, they aren’t the most convenient. But until Apple includes a dedicated Print function in the Messages app for iPhone, you’ve got no option but to get your copies the hard way (no pun intended).
