Read on for detailed descriptions of what's included in the printout, as well as tips on how to customize it to your needs.

What’s Included in Your Message Printouts

Using TouchCopy, you can copy or print messages from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. TouchCopy can access sent and received SMS, MMS, iMessage, LINE and WhatsApp messages.

TouchCopy will print all the vital information from your conversations:

  • Texts sent and received.
  • Attached media (emojis, photos, reactions, etc.).
  • Contact details: name, image (optional) and number (optional).
  • Times and dates on which the messages were sent/received.

If you do not wish to print your entire conversation, TouchCopy lets you choose the dates of the messages you wish to print by using the "Filter Dates" (PC) or "Date Range" (Mac) button in TouchCopy.

Customizing Your Message Printouts

TouchCopy provides a few options when you're considering printing out your messages.

Long conversations can take up lots of paper, so you can reduce the amount of paper needed by getting more messages on each piece of paper. In TouchCopy Preferences (Mac), you can alter the size of the text (bigger for easier reading, or smaller for more text on a page), and a "Compact Layout" which will reduce the amount of white space between messages (again, allowing for more messages per page).

Check out all TouchCopy Settings to see how else you can customize your message exports and printouts.
