If you don't have a Facebook account, you can request the removal of your data. Ask a QuestionHow can I download a conversation between me and one other person?Chat & MessagesHello, I am trying to figure out a way to be able to save my conversations between me and one other person. In the bottom left of your "General Account Settings" find the line of text that says "Download a copy of your Facebook data" and click the link. ** To make it work on Chrome, left click on "See Older Messages" and choose "open in a new tab" and there you will find the "pagesize=" number to change. You can simply download all the messages for a specific conversation by specifying the corresponding conversation ID.
When I first tried this in June, Facebook gave me only the 20-30 most recent messages in the archive, but now it gives me all of them. Look for the following DIV code in the html source of the page: ul class="uiList -cx-PRIVATE-webMessengerReadViewmessagelist -cx-PRIVATE-uiListvert" id="webMessengerRecentMessages" role="log" When found, right click on it > Copy as HTML. shareimprove this answer answered Feb 15 '15 at 21:07 Vaindil 150117 I have fixed and extended the scripts in this Python project of mine. The downloading of your content from facebook might take some time, but it's a one click way to download it, and not loads of scrolling on the chat page. Here is the code: setInterval(function () { document.getElementById('seeolder') .getElementsByClassName('content')[0].click(); }, 500); The above code can also be found on this website: If you do not want to go back all the way, you will need to stop the script.

I don't really want to have to scroll through the actual messages, wait for older ones to load, and copy and paste since I have 7k messages so far. The extension did not work, and the second method only allowed me to download a part of the conversation. But after doing the same steps i got only today's messages but not all for 1 year.
