The messages sync across devices.

So I can just copy them on the computer from messages to email. Unfortunately, one at a time

I took a photo that I had on the computer and had messaged to the family.

Using the phone, I copied it to my phone's camera roll.

Opposite of you, but it works. Just not in bulk unless someone figures a way to automate it.

I don't get email on my ipad, to keep distractions down. usonian Yesterday #3

Thanks for responding! I don't seem to have a Mail app. I looked at the App Store and didn't find it. CaliforniaPeggy Yesterday #4

That's unusual. Perhaps you deleted the app (it can happen) or the icon is lost in the icons. usonian Yesterday #9
