How To Recover Deleted Messages on Messenger

Facebook Messenger is a popular messaging app that allows users to send and receive messages, photos, videos, and voice messages. It also includes features such as group chats, stickers, and games.

Sometimes, users may accidentally delete messages from Messenger. If this happens, there are a few ways to recover them.

1. Restore Archived Conversations

If you have accidentally deleted a conversation, it may still be in your archived conversations. To check, open the Messenger app and tap on the profile icon (phone) in the top left corner. Then, tap on “Archived Messages.”

You will see a list of all of your archived conversations. To restore a conversation, tap on it and then tap on “Unarchive.”

If you’re using website or laptop then you have to click on the three dot top left corner there you find archived chats.

2. Recover Deleted Messages

If the conversation you deleted is not in your archived conversations, you can still try to recover it by requesting a copy of your Facebook data. This will include all of your messages, including deleted ones.

Request a copy of your data

Facebook keeps a copy of all your messages, even if you delete them. You can request a copy of your data by going to Facebook’s website and following these steps:

1. Click on the “Profile icon” in the top left corner of the page.
2. Select “Settings.”
3. Click on “Your Facebook Information.”
4. Click on “Download profile Information.”
5. Select the types of data you want to download, including messages.
6. Click on “Create File.”
7. Facebook will send you an email with a link to download your data.

Facebook will then create a file containing your messages. This file may take some time to create, so be patient.

Once the file is created, you will be able to download it. Once you have downloaded the file, you can open it and view your deleted messages.

3. Facebook Account Settings

If you are having trouble recovering deleted messages, you can try contacting Facebook support. To do this, go to the Facebook website and log in to your account. Then, click on the “Help” tab and click on “Contact Us.”

You will be asked to describe your problem. Be sure to mention that you are trying to recover deleted messages.

A Facebook representative will then contact you and try to help you recover your messages.

Additional Information

• If you are using an Android device, you can also try using a data recovery app to recover deleted messages.
• If you are using an iPhone, you can use the “Recently Deleted” folder to recover deleted messages. However, messages will only be stored in this folder for 30 days.
• It is important to note that Facebook may not be able to recover all deleted messages. This is because Facebook may have deleted the messages from its servers.
• If you are concerned about privacy, you may want to consider using a third-party messaging app that encrypts your messages. This will make it more difficult for anyone to read your messages, even if they are deleted.
