Text messaging is still one of the heavily used functions on a given cell phone although there are tons of amazing features added to the new models. Personally, I have 1000+ messages stored on my Android phone. However, as we know, it's not a good idea to leave important information only on your phone as they can easily get lost by wrong deletion or stolen by someone else. Back up is essential for anyone who owns an Android phone. For example, I'd like to print out the text messages conversation on a paper when I think it's important for me. This is much safer to protect the information when you take care of it and place it in an secure place. I have done this kind of tasks a couple of times and would like to share it publicly to those who have the same needs as me. Some articles suggest taking a screenshot on my Android phone and send the screenshots to iOS-based printer device, but that can print only a snippet of messages conversion each time, when I want to print whole messages list, the result cannot make me satisfied and a time-consuming task.
But the first thing we do when printing messages from Android device is extract messages conversation into your computer and save as XLS or Docx format. Android Transfer is a great app to help you manage your Android phone on a computer, which operations can be done much faster than on your phone. What you need to do is to export the messages to a file, and then print the file by using your computer. The entire task will be completed in minutes, that why I love about it.
