Chances are you\u2019ve spent a lot of time on the Facebook Messenger app. After all, it\u2019s currently used by 900 million people worldwide. But, did you know your deleted Facebook messages don\u2019t truly disappear? You can recover these deleted Facebook messages fairly quickly, and it\u2019s much easier than you think. Just follow these simple steps, and voil\u00e1! Your messages will be recovered in no time:<\/p>\n

Step One
\n<\/strong>First, simply log into your Facebook account. Once you\u2019re in, go to your \u201cSettings\u201d in the top right corner of the window, which will then take you to your \u201cGeneral Account Settings.\u201d At the bottom of the page, you will see \u201cDownload a copy of your Facebook data.\u201d Click on the link attached to the first three words.<\/p>\n

Step Two
\n<\/strong>Then, you\u2019ll be brought to a page where you can download everything you\u2019ve done on your Facebook account since you first created it; that\u2019s right, everything<\/em>. Click on the green button towards the top of the page that says \u201cStart My Archive.\u201d You will then be prompted to type in your password again, after which Facebook will inform you that you\u2019ll soon be receiving an email confirming that your data is ready for download. It may take somewhere between two to three hours for you to receive this email, but when it arrives, you\u2019ll see a link for downloading your archive.<\/p>\n

Step Three
\n<\/strong>Once you\u2019ve received this link, you must reenter your password before you can download the archive. Then, click the \u201cDownload Archive\u201d button, which should appear immediately upon entering your password. Your archive will then download to your computer. Unzip the archive, and open the file labeled \u201cIndex.\u201d From there, click \u201cMessages,\u201d and your entire history should be laid out before you! All of your past messages will load, including the ones you accidentally (or intentionally?) deleted.<\/p>\n

To quickly locate the specific message you\u2019re looking for, you should search for a keyword. You can do this by pressing \u201cCTRL + F,\u201d and typing in a keyword or phrase. Once you have found the message, you can copy and paste it into a Word document to save it.<\/p>\n

Mission Accomplished
\n<\/strong>Sure, it\u2019s not the fastest process out there, but it\u2019s definitely doable!
