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 need to be a tech genius to be able to do it. THE procedure it is simple and takes place without third-party applications, but directly through the features of Facebook.
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. On her right side screen and in the "Download your information" line, click on the corresponding "View" button.
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 data my" and in the calendar that will appear, select the time range you want.
The process of creating a backup file can take some time, depending on the amount of data. Facebook will let you know and a pop-up message will be sent to you when the creation is complete. It will also send you an email.
5. Once you are notified that the file is ready, go to “Available copies” 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, reset your Facebook password if prompted, and wait for it to come down. You will receive a ZIP file containing all your data. Unzip it to your own folder, then run "index.html". You will see all your conversations, individually per 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.
