How to Use Tansee iOS Message Transfer to Export iPhone SMS and iMessages

What it does

Tansee iOS Message Transfer exports SMS and iMessage conversations from an iPhone to your computer (usually as readable files like .txt, .csv, or .html) so you can archive, print, or analyze them.

Requirements

• A Windows PC (Tansee tools are Windows-based).
• Latest iTunes installed (for proper device drivers).
• A Lightning cable and the iPhone you want to export.
• Tansee iOS Message Transfer installed and the app launched.

Step-by-step export (presumed defaults)

1. Install iTunes and Tansee software — install the latest iTunes for Windows, then install Tansee iOS Message Transfer and launch it.
2. Connect iPhone — unlock the iPhone and connect with a Lightning cable. If prompted on the phone, tap Trust and enter the device passcode.
3. Let the app detect the device — Tansee should show your device name and iOS version once drivers are recognized.
4. Scan messages — choose the Messages/SMS option and start scanning. The app will read the message database on the device or from an iTunes backup.
5. Preview and select conversations — browse conversations in the app; check the threads or contacts you want to export.
6. Choose export format — pick from available formats (commonly .txt, .csv, .html). Select the output folder on your PC.
7. Export — click Export/Save. Wait for completion, then open the exported files to verify content and attachments (if supported).
8. Safely disconnect — eject the device in Windows and unplug the cable.

Common tips and troubleshooting

• Backup first: create an iTunes backup before exporting to avoid accidental data changes.
• iTunes drivers: if the device isn’t detected, reinstall iTunes or update Apple Mobile Device Support.
• Encrypted backups: if using an encrypted iTunes backup, provide the backup password when prompted.
• Missing messages: some messages (especially recently deleted or not in backup) may not appear; ensure you scan the live device if supported.
• Attachments: media export support varies; verify whether images/voice notes export alongside text.
• Permissions and antivirus: temporarily disable strict antivirus if the app can’t access device files (re-enable afterward).

Output uses

• Legal archiving or evidence
• Personal backups
• Import to other tools that accept .csv/.html
• Printing readable conversation transcripts
