Save iMessages from iPhone

[jason.siegel]

I accidentally deleted one of my iMessage conversations on my Mac. Is it possible to retrieve it somehow from my iPhone (or backups, if necessary) and save as PDF or another format?

Call the NSA. ;-)

Seriously, that is a great question. I would think the conversation is stored somewhere in iCloud.

I'd really like to know how to export and archive any iMessages conversation in XML or csv.

I found this, although the save function isn't pretty.
