Court cases can be complicated, and it’s no surprise that as technology advances, new ways to prove your case are developed. For example, you might have received a text message from someone who will testify in court for or against you. If this person sent you a message on their phone but doesn’t have it saved on the cloud or backed up somewhere else (like iCloud or Google), then the only way to get it is by taking a screenshot of your phone screen while you’re looking at that message. Learn how to do it here!
Text message encryption is the new thing.
Text message encryption is the new thing. As more people become aware of the dangers of government surveillance, they’re looking for ways to protect their communications. Text message encryption is one such method, but it’s not without its drawbacks.
What Is Text Message Encryption?
Text message encryption uses an app that encrypts your messages before they reach your phone and then decrypts them again as they leave your device. The result is that even if someone were to intercept your text messages while they were being transmitted between you and another person (e.g., by tapping into a cellular network), those messages would remain encrypted and unreadable to anyone without access to the decryption key needed for deciphering them–which only you have!
You can’t just copy text messages from your phone.
You can’t just copy text messages from your phone in order to capture mobile text messages. You need to use a computer, and there are a lot of different ways to take a screenshot on your iPhone or Android phone. If you’re using an Apple device, here’s how:
- Press the Home button twice (the one below the screen) at once; this will bring up all apps open on your device in a row of icons along the bottom edge of the screen. Find Messages and tap it once so that it opens up into full view with all conversations visible in chronological order underneath each other–this is important because we want all our screenshots lined up neatly so they make sense when we print them out later!
- Now press down firmly on any message thread until it starts shaking slightly; keep holding down until an arrow appears next to each message telling us how many seconds more before they’ll disappear forever! When this happens immediately start scrolling through all those messages carefully so none get lost during this process since once again…they’ll disappear forever!
You have to capture the text messages using a computer.
You need to use a computer to capture the text messages. You can’t just copy text messages from your phone, because they’re stored in a different location on your device. If you try to save them as files on the device itself, they won’t be able to be accessed by law enforcement later.
You’ll also need access to both sides’ phones (or at least one of them), so make sure that both parties agree before attempting this method!

- Hold down the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time (this is what I do).
- Press volume up and power buttons at the same time. This works on all iPhones since 2011, as well as some older models. If it doesn’t work for you, try pressing power button then holding it until you see “screenshot captured” notification in upper left corner of screen; then release both buttons at once (if this still doesn’t work please contact Apple Support).
- Press power button then hold until screenshot captured appears in upper left corner of screen; then release both buttons at once (if this still doesn’t work please contact Apple Support).
- Pressing both home buttons simultaneously will also capture what’s on-screen–but only if you have an iPhone 7 Plus or newer model!
You can get these if you know how and where to look for them!

- You can get them from the cloud.
- You can get them from your phone (if it’s an older model).
- You can also get them from your carrier’s servers, if they have a record of all text messages sent on their network and not just ones that are still in their system. That said, not every carrier will have this information available – but some do! And if yours doesn’t…you might be able to find out where it went anyway by contacting whomever sent or received those messages with whom you’d like copies of those texts (if they’re willing).
Conclusion
The best way to record text message is by using a computer. There are many different ways to do this, but they all involve downloading an app or software program that can be installed on your computer. These programs will allow you to take screenshots of your phone’s screen so that you can access them later when needed.
