How to save iPhone messages to a PDF file easily and for free

25. 9. 2018

The MobiMover program from EaseUs has already been discussed here. It is a freeware program that enables data management on iOS devices, which greatly facilitates the sometimes confusing work with iTunes. Using this program, it is possible to easily transfer music, photos, contacts, recordings, ringtones and other data from the computer to the device and vice versa, or even move between multiple devices. In addition, MobiMover has one more handy feature that can come in handy from time to time. It can save messages from an iPhone or iPad to a file on the computer, which can then be easily converted to PDF format. Here's how to do it.

Although even MobiMover is not flawless and there are also more sophisticated applications of a similar type (such as iMazing or iExplorer), it is the absolute number one among free programs. The features it offers can make moving files between iOS and PC a lot easier, and it's very likely that we'll be mentioning MobiMover in some future tutorial.

Hello, after reading the article I was excited about what the app can do, but for some reason on macOS Mojave (in conjunction with iPhone X) after selecting the Message option and loading for a moment, it says I have no conversations. The photos are there, the voice messages are there, but the notes are also empty. Can you advise me please? Thank you. Jacob
