With the progress we have made in the communications field, writing letters traditionally is no longer a thing today. From sensitive topics to bank statements, we exchange essential information with other people through SMS, emails, and online chats. Some of us don’t know how it is important to keep messages, particularly those that can get us into trouble in the future.
So, if you are stuck in trouble and need to prove your innocence, SMS messages are a great way to do that. Sadly, updated SMS apps don’t allow you to print messages directly. But, don’t fret! In this post, we are going to teach you how you can print text messages from your Android device.
Method #1: Saving Screenshots and Print

Method #2: Use Super Backup and Restore
As we have said earlier, new SMS apps don’t let us print messages directly. But, there are third-party backup and restore applications that let you print directly from your Android device. If you search, you will find several apps for this; however, we have chosen Super Backup and Restore for this section that you can download from the Play Store.
