Documenting by archiving all text messages from ex (very crazy texts)

[ogopogodude]

Hello, ... I was wondering if anybody has a good way to print out texts (that are very useful in future court sessions, or for "leverage" ... which is a nice way of saying blackmail) that are EXACTLY like one's iPhone screen.

I take screen shots every day of my iPhone whenever crazy texts come in.  And this is archived on iCloud automatically.

I currently have two apps that I archive everything (from "l love you" to "I hate your f***g guts, I hope you die, you a****/creep" to "I'm gonna burn down the house with you & the kids in it" ... .to "I'm gonna burn down your mother's house with HER in it while she sleeps".

I think is has GREAT impact if there is a program or app that prints out the texts EXACTLY  like the screen shot as then the date, time, etc is all on the picture.

Whenever I use my text apps to archive, it is kinda boring with page after page of her crap texts. Or, ... when I print out the screen shots, then it is a total waste of ink as the printed out text message takes the whole 8 1/2 by 11 page and it is HUGE.

It would be nice to be able to print out, say , four screen shots of text messages on ONE page. 

Anybody has any input on  this?

Is there a way that you can get copies from The Cloud and view them on a laptop or tablet?  If necessary, you might need to convert the file type?   

I use a Windows Lapton, and there is a little snipping tool that comes with Windows. You just outline what segment of something you want, copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into a Word document or a Powerpoint slide.    It's like a scaled down version of a screen print.  You only keep a portion of something.  It would be similar to placing graphic files on a page.  I've done something similar, with copies of checks that I have scanned into a PDF file.  I'd capture each individual check I needed (for a new grouping) and paste each segment into a Word document and come up with a document with  the combination of checks that I needed. 

I'm sure there could be an equivalent scenario with Apple products/software.

There are inexpensive backup programs that you can get for Mac or PC that will let you copy data off your iPhone. I have one on my Mac called iMazing. It will save all of your texts from the Messages app in a file you can search, export, print, etc.

I have an Iphone and I use a program called PhoneView. It's a bit pricey at $30, but I found it to be very helpful. It will print out texts exactly as they appear on your phone, so it's easy to see the context with times, etc.
