How to forward and share messages on iPad

You can forward one or more text messages in a conversation to a different recipient. You just select the messages you want to forward, share them, and enter recipients. To show the message bubbles and timestamps as they appear in a conversation, though, you can send a screenshot instead.

  1. Go to the Messages app on your iPad.
  2. Open a conversation. Touch and hold a message bubble you want to forward.
  3. Tap More, tap to select one or more messages to forward, and then tap the Share button.
  4. Enter recipients, then tap the Send button.

Quick tip: Instead of forwarding messages, send a screenshot as an attached image, and the message bubbles and timestamps look just as they do in the conversation.
