Save all iPhone conversations to PDF files with one click

If your aim is to save all your text messages, RCS, iMessages, LINE and WhatsApp messages as PDFs at once, when your messages are loaded in TouchCopy click "Save as PDF" without selecting any of your conversations. TouchCopy lets you choose where on your computer or external drive you'd like to save your iPhone messages before copying them.

PDF is a great format to save messages, as it can easily be shared with others, or printed out. The PDF export contains embedded images in the conversation - but will not contain video or audio media. Rest assured, all important data is included in the export, including contact information and timestamps for each message.

The image below shows an example of what an export looks like when you save iPhone messages as PDF with TouchCopy:

Selecting messages to save as PDF

TouchCopy displays a list of contacts with whom you've had SMS, MMS, RCS, iMessage, LINE and WhatsApp conversations. Clicking on the contact in the list shows sent and received messages in that conversation. You can also search your contact list by name to display all messages by a particular contact.
