Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

In our program PC Companion, you can create a back up of your text message but you will not be able to open the back up file or similar. You need to restore the back up file to your or another Xperia-phone if you want the messages to be displayed again.

But there might be a third party program that can save/back up your text message in another way. Perhaps, the program "MyPhoneExplorer" have this possibility.

The text messages are in an app called "Messenger". I am looking to be able to read the messages and print them from this app. The contacts in this app are different from the "Contacts" found in the "contacts" folder. I don't want to do a back-up that I can't view.

Thanks for the help!

My suggestion, get on a computer, take screenshots and print them, or copy paste into a word document
