How You Can Forward Text Messages To Your Email

If you plan to save something permanently, ensure you do not forget it, have it organized – should it be a vital link or simply a video you want to view on a full screen – texting is never the solution. When you receive a text with any of this information, how beautiful do you think it would be if you could forward the text message to your email account so you can archive it or just read it on a screen more appropriate for the message?

Luckily, it is possible to forward text messages to your email account quite easily on several devices. This article will shed light on it.

Have Text Messages Forwarded To Email

There are two main ways to get this done. One of which is via an application to have all your text messages forwarded to an inbox you decide on. Or, you can manually forward text messages separately. This is how it will function on Android, then iOS.

Text Forwarding On Android

If you are an Android user and you are in need of an application to forward all your texts to your email account automatically, then the Play Store has several of them. Have one with a decent review downloaded and installed on your device. The application will handle what is left.

To manually forward a text message on Android, just click “Forward” within your text messaging application, and in the destination field, type in an email address where you would naturally add a phone number.

1. Open the text thread that you would like to forward.
2. Select “Forward” (or “Share”) and click “Message.”
3. Include an email address where you would naturally include a phone number.
4. Click “Send.”

So far you have data and MMS capability on your data plan, this will function properly. The delivery will depend on your network.

Text Forwarding For iOS

The iPhone previously had a built-in function for forwarding all your text messages to an email address, so we never needed a different app. But, that feature is long gone, and it doesn’t appear like there is an application with this feature on the app store.

It is possible, though, for you to forward individual texts to an email address in iPhone:

1. Open Messages and have the thread with the message you want to forward opened.
2. Click and hold the message until a notification appears. Click “More.”
3. Ensure a blue checkmark is visible close to the text message you want to forward, select other texts you will like to forward too.
4. Click the arrow in the lower right corner.
5. Type in the email address to forward the text to,
6. Click the second arrow.
7. It can take a while for the message to storm your inbox, depending on your network, but it will happen.

It is possible to forward normal texts, MMS through an Android or iPhone. Whatsoever content can be transferred by the SMS protocol and forwarded to an email address as long as your network permits it. Several 3G and 4G contracts will aid you to send or forward media and messages wherever you fancy. If it’s giving you problem, contact your network provider.

Text Forwarding For Any Device

Lastly, if the methods already listed did not end up being the solution, you should try getting a Google Voice number that will not cost you anything. To set it up, log in to your Google Voice account and tap the three vertical dots on the left side of the screen. Then click “Settings,” then “Messages.” To wrap it up, type in an email address you want to forward to and toggle the button the right side to the on position. As soon as this is done, all text that is sent to your Google Voice number will automatically be forwarded to our email address.

Forward WhatsApp Messages To Email

If you desire, you can even forward WhatsApp messages to an email address. If you killed it in a particular chat and you want to have it saved, or have a selection of pictures, GIFs or videos you want saved for future reference, you can save every of your WhatsApp conversations to email.

Send A Particular WhatsApp Message To An Email Address:

1. Open the conversation where the message you want to forward is on your WhatsApp.
2. Click and hold the message, then click “Forward.”
3. Click the icon in the lower right corner.
4. Type in the email address and click the send button.

Send A Full WhatsApp Message Thread To An Email Address:

1. Open the conversation where the message you want to forward is on your WhatsApp.
2. Click the name of the person or group you are chatting with at the top of the screen.
3. Click “Export Chat.”
4. Click “Mail,” type in the email address, and click the and button.

WhatsApp allows you to add up to 10,000 messages in one text file, but you might not fancy waiting that long. It will take a very long time to locate the one you are searching for in a file sized that way.
