Or maybe you’re just a fan of writing prose through your SMS messages.
So here’s our guide on how to print text messages from Android phones.
Some of the options I’m sharing will work on older phones just as much as newer ones.
It’s the default texting app on Android.
Nowselect the hamburger menu this is the three vertical dots in the top right of the app.
A small menu will appear.
On this menuswipe through to the app of your smart printer and select it.
Much of the process of this is similar to the last step.
Press and hold on the text, and it should change color to become navy blue.
Nextselect the hamburger menu, three vertical dots in the top right of the app.
A small menu will appear.
SelectShareand you’ll see every app you’re free to share the text with.
But there’s an option to let you share an entire text exchange:screenshotting it.
To do this you’ll need to know how to screenshot on your Android phone.
Bring up the text conversation you want to screenshot.
Once you’ve positioned it perfectly,take the screenshot.
What you gotta do isselect ‘Order photo’, which will be right below the screenshot.
Troubleshooting
How do I print an entire text conversation on Android?
Unfortunately, in the Messages app, there’s not a way to select an entire conversation of messages.
Your best bet would be to take multiple screenshots using the third option above.
What if I can’t find the right sharing app?
Some apps also don’t take pure text-file shares, as your text message will be exported as.
What if I want to print from WhatsApp?
So that rules out options 1 and 2.
