Saving iPhone text messages onto my Windows PC

There's no built in way to just export them sadly. Apple's own route is a backup to the PC (Apple Devices app or iTunes), but the messages are locked inside the backup files, you can't open them directly. So you're picking between: - a paid backup viewer that reads that local backup and exports chats to PDF or text. iMazing is the one most people mention - screenshots, if it's only one or two conversations you need If you do the backup route, untick encrypt or remember the password, otherwise the viewer can't read it.
