- Mac users preparing message records for legal proceedings
- Worth noticing
- The site says deleted messages are not recoverable and leaves court acceptance to the court.
Field notes
The described workflow draws on messages already synced to the Mac, so the site says no iPhone cable or phone backup is required. Users can narrow an export by conversation and date range, then add a case name and exhibit label. TextDocket says the export folder will also include original images and a spreadsheet index; it explicitly cannot show messages deleted from the Mac before export.
