If you really want to save a message from an important conversation, the best way to do so is to take a screenshot of that message.
Once you’ve taken a photo of the message, email the image to yourself or to someone else that can keep the image secure. The time stamp on your email message will include a date and time, and this can be used as proof that the conversation was held at a specific moment.
