How do I print a text message from my iPhone
Several online companies can create a book from your WhatsApp conversations. They suggest that you forward your texts by email directly to print them asap.
👎 This method has a few major drawbacks, even though it is easy:
✘ A long chat with photos and gifs can be too big to transfer by email;
✘ If you care about your privacy, it is not recommended to disclose the contents of your message history to a third party;
✘ You won’t be able to manually select the specific period or messages you want to include – it’s all or nothing;
✘ You can try to edit your conversation and delete the unwanted parts, but it will take a while.
That is why we recommend you to print WhatsApp chat by yourself with CopyTrans Contacts. Make a complete WhatsApp book with all your pictures & emojis.
