    SMS and Whatsapp downloads

    I'm a recent convert to all things Apple - be it the iPhone 5S, my MacBook Air etc . . . this was due to being outvoted by the two other C-Levels in my new company.

    Verdict after 9 months: Superb Hardware, shitty or backward software . . . so I use Windows on my Mac.

    Anyhow, I digress.

    I need to download and print both sms and whatsapp messages and can't seem to find anything easy enough by googling.

    Anyone have any ideas, please?

    ^ Doesn't work. Your feeble attempt at doing a Fozzy to me have failed miserably.

    Cur!

    Why didn't you ask some of the B OR A-levels to overrule them?

    Pretty Please?

    ^ Thank you

    Also, found a good explanation for the sms issue:

    Can you save text message to a file on phone - Apple Store (U.S.)

    iPhone good.

    MacBok Air good.

    PH happy.

    You should get checked out for Alzheimers.

    this was due to being outvoted by the two other C-Levels in my new company.

    I alwaya just forward them to email. Then done.

    Best keep the actual sms and WA messages though as proof. Or even take some screen shots. Emails are easily faked or altered and thus lousy evidence.

    So sad for you... Apple...

    When people ask me why i prefer Android I reply:

    WHAT DID APPLE DID GIVE YOU FOR FREE SINCE YOU KNOW IT ?

    WHAT GOOGLE GAVE YOU FOR FREE ? Gmail, Google map, google search and hundred of other free services (i know that they pay themselves with advertising, but at least it's FREE FOR US !)

    Google doesn't make mass-market phones nor laptops.

    Nice try at a comparison between google and Apple. Next try a comparison between Audi and a pineapple.

    (no need for caps all the time, I can see quite well, thanks)

    True, my mistake. Could still edit it, but what I said . . . I said.

    Do you know anyone who has a google laptop?

    Does google make mass-market phones?

    Our learned friend was talking about free things. Is Google giving away free laptops and phones?

    Google laptop, no. Chromebooks yes. And the Chromebook really is a shot across the bows of Apple's iPad.

    Phones, no. But again, I think Google did venture there, and to be sure they will again.

    Our learned friend is an idiot, all that free stuff google gives away is in place of your data and personal details. Google is a behemoth and not at all altruistic, a rather interesting company and marketing plan actually.

    I just read an article about google being invisible, in much the same way that Kyser Soser (spelling) was.

    You were wrong, but it's good that you make such an assumption based on my missing a cryptic comment . . . perhaps that chip on your shoulder explains why you were never given any serious responsibility.

    Nope, nope and Google makes software for phones, yes.

    Never met anyone who had one, however, have you? (Serious question)

    Here you go, Ocker:

    Nexus ? Google

    Buy your Google tablet, phone or media player.

    Here's some Chromebooks for you:

    If you just wanna play a game, perhaps this one:

    That is Seattle for you, though . . .

    I once worked for a company just outside Seattle in Redmond, an IT company, and loved it! Nice place, very nice place.

    Whales, salmon, markets, deer etc . . . nice change after working in Phoenix

    ^ Seattle (the NW in particular) is the sole reason I still live in the states. It is a wonderful place to live.

    The cost of living is skyrocketing however so the cat is long out of the bag sadly.
