I'm carrying around an iPhone with an extended text conversation with a deceased best friend. This conversation is very important to me to figure out how to save for several reasons. I would hate to lose this phone and not have record of this conversation.

Anyone have any idea how to save this to a hard drive somewhere and print it eventually?

TIA

Scroll through and take screenshots of the convo. Then you can email the images and print them off

Yeah, that's going to be hard. The conversation was over the course of several months and would be literally a thousand screenshots, if not more.

Try this:

iExplorer

I believe it requires a jailbreak. Haven't used it in years and I didn't use it for messages but it worked great.

Here's a tutorial on how to do it if you have a Mac computer. LINK /

Also found some software that can be purchased to make this work on a windows PC: LINK

Can you help the man? If not, then STFU.

If you have iCloud back up turned on you shouldn't lose it.

I'm trying to teach him the value of hard work, especially when the result is something you'll cherish for life...but hey, why work hard if you can find a magic wizard to do the work for you. Why go to the park and fly a kite when you can just pop a pill...
