Hi

Does anyone know how to print off text messages from an iphone for court evidence? There are too many texts to screenshot so that isn't an option, thanks in advance!

You can download an app to export SMS. Whatsapp you can export the messages from within Whatsapp (go to Whatsapp settings).

Exported SMS usually go into Excel. You might need to explain in a witness statement what product you used to do the export and that there were too many messages to put in evidence as screenshots.

screenshot into a word doc so that you can arrange chronologically

Do you know what the app is called that will export SMS? I've managed to work out Whatsapp luckily but it's the text messages that seem really difficult to print off with screen shotting hundreds of times

I'd screenshot them emails them to myself, then print them off on a computer

You can back them up to email with an app I've used SMS backup+ this sends all to email which you print out like a conversation

OP has said in the OP that there are too many texts to screenshot!

There are a few apps to use for exporting SMS. If you google "how to export SMS", you will find options depending on what type of phone you have.
