Saving my text messages as a historical record
Three years ago I accidentally deleted all of my husband’s texts that he had sent me over a 9 year period (~2014-2022). I liked having these as a family historical record. Luckily, my iPad did not get synced after this deletion, so those 9 years of messages remained on the iPad. I would love to find a way to make these 9 years of his messages a part of my iCloud record (for example) or at least save them in a way that I could still read them and search them. I know this is a weird way to use these messages but I like having this history.
So far, I have not found a way to move those texts (messages) off my iPad to a more permanent and sustainable storage. Does anyone have an idea how this might be accomplish?
