Method 2. Printing Text Messages on an iPhone via iPhone Print Button
From the iPhone itself, it is possible to print document files directly. The messaging app does not allow this from the app itself though so it is necessary to save the message to the native Notes app and print the file from there.
Step 1. Saving the Messages to Notes
To copy a text message, you would need to open the Message app and tap and hold on the message for you to get a pop-up menu, on which you would need to select "Copy".
Then open the Notes app and tap on the screen to bring the keyboard on the screen. Tap and hold the screen to get the menu which will include "Paste".
Step 2. Access the Print Option
After the messages are pasted to the Notes app, you are now ready to print the message. On the Notes app, look for the "Share" button located on the lower-left hand corner of the screen. From the list of options that would be populated, select "Print".
After selecting "Print", the printer preference screen will appear to select the printer to be used as well as the copies to be printed. After selecting your preference, you may proceed with printing the file by tapping on the "Print" button.
Step 1. Take a Screenshot
To do a screen shot, open the message thread from the Messaging app. While on the desired screen, press and hold the "Sleep/Wake" button at the side of the iPhone and then immediately press and release the "Home" Button.
Step 2. Print the Messages
Access the file from the Photos App. After opening the newly saved screenshot, click the "Share" button at the bottom left cornet and then in the pop up window look for the "Printer" Option icon. Finally, start printing your messages.
