Download your Facebook chat history for safe keeping

If you need to keep your conversations on Facebook then read this article to see how to do it.

You are likely to chat on facebook with a friend and, because of the importance of your conversation, want to save it. In some cases you may need to keep only part of the conversation and in others whole. Whatever your needs, we let you know that there are ways to save part or all of the conversation.

You don't have to be a tech genius to be able to do it. The process is simple and takes place without third-party applications, but directly through Facebook's capabilities.

Let's go see.
1. Sign in to your Facebook account and go to "Settings" and from there to "Your Facebook Information" in the left column.

2. Στο δεξί μέρος της οθόνης και στην γραμμή “Κατεβάστε τις πληροφορίες σας” κάντε κλικ στο αντίστοιχο "Projection".

3. The new screen that will appear by default is marked with all the backups you can get. Click on "Uncheck All" to unblock them in bulk, then select only "Messages you have exchanged with other people on Messenger".

4. If you want to limit the backup time and not download all the chat history, then click on “Duration: All my" and in the calendar that will appear, select the time range you want.

The process of creating a backup file may take some time, depending on the amount of data. Facebook informs you about this and when the creation is finished it will send you a message with . At the same time it will send you an email.

5. Once you are notified that the file is ready, go to “Available ” to download it. If you don't see it, even though Facebook told you it's ready, refresh the page (reload the page).

Press the download button, give it again your Facebook if it asks, and wait for it to download. You will receive a ZIP file containing all your data. Unzip it into a folder of your own and then run “index.html”. You'll see all your conversations, individually by person, in block format.

6. Go with File Explorer to the backup folder and from there go into the "messages" folder and then into the "inbox" folder. There you will find folders with the conversations of all your friends, broken down by friend.

Select the friend you are interested in, go into his folder and run the "message_1.html" file. You will see all of your chat history with your particular friend, and as you understand you have only to save somewhere and permanently, only that particular history, so as to reduce the amount of data.

 

Conclusion
If you have to keep your important conversations going, now you know the way. If you go through the above process, you will be surprised at what Facebook holds on its servers. The ability to backup conversations is especially useful, especially if you want to have a copy of your conversation with a deceased person so you can remember chatting with him.
