Downloading Messages from iPhone

[Charlie.V]

Question about downloading messages:
I need to download all my text messages on my iPhone between myself and another number as legal evidence. There are a few thousand messages.

Ideally I'd like a copy of them as PDF.

I tried AnyTrans and iExplorer but neither worked for me on MacOS 13.2.1 and iOS 16.3.1

I have the backup saved on the Mac so it would be nice to copy them from there but I have the iPhone containing the messages as well.

Thank you for any ideas,
Charlie

Try iMazing. https://imazing.com

I think they have a specific product or license for legal stuff that is different from the regular license.

iMazing worked perfectly. Very grateful for this recommendation.
