"I want to transfer text messages from my iPhone 11 to computer for better recording. What should I do?"
After seeing such question on Apple forum, I realized that exporting iPhone notes, contacts, text messages, etc. to PC as Word documents is more convenient and secure than keeping them to iPhone. Hence, I spent 2 days trying all methods available online and now I'd like to share the most useful one to transfer iPhone data to PC below.
Undoubtedly, you must take advantage of a third-party tool to complete data transfer from iPhone to PC as iTunes/iCloud backup is either unreadable or inaccessible. And iPhone Data Recovery Software is highly recommended here based on my personal use. It's specially designed to SELECTIVELY export text messages, contacts, notes, etc. from iPhone 12/11/X/8/7SE/6s Plus/6s/6 Plus/6/5s/5c/5/4S, iTunes backup or iCloud backup to computer in Word documents, such as .doc, .txt, .xls and .xml. See how it exports iPhone data to Word documents on PC.
