How To Get Old Deleted Facebook Messages: Everyone’s done it – deleted a Facebook message they meant to keep (sometimes the trigger-happy clicker finger can cause serious remorse.) Adios, sayonara, people think they’ll never see their messages again.
But this is not the case. That’s right, a time machine isn’t necessary to retrieve deleted messages. Facebook knows the accidental deletion of messages can happen and they’ve created an easy way for anyone with an account to go back and view everything they’ve done on their account.
Recover deleted Facebook messages from a downloaded archive
In order to receive deleted messages in Facebook, you’ll first need to log-in to the Facebook account you want to retrieve messages from.
Go to “Account Settings”
After you’re logged in, go to “Account Settings” in the top right corner of the window.
Once the “General Account Settings” page loads, click on “Download a copy of your Facebook data” at the bottom of the page.
Download Your Archive
After you click on the “Download a copy…” link, you’ll be brought to a page where you can download everything you’ve done on your Facebook account since the birth of your account. Click on the green button that says “Start My Archive.”
After you click the green button, the small dialog box “Request My Download,” will open, informing you it can take a while (typically 2-3 hours) to gather all of your information. Click “Start My Archive” again to launch the gathering process.
And that, you’ll be told to go to the email account associated with your Facebook profile where a download link to your archive will be sent. Again, it may take 2-3 hours to arrive. Once it does, click on the link in the email to download your archive.
