How to forward and share messages on iPhone

You can forward one or more text messages in a conversation to a different recipient, and you can choose exactly which messages to forward. To show the message bubbles and timestamps as they appear in a conversation, though, you can send a screenshot instead.

  1. Start the Messages app on your iPhone.
  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, you can send a screenshot as an attached image, which keeps the message bubbles and timestamps exactly as they appear in a conversation.
