How To Save Messenger Messages On Iphone

While we can simply log in to our Facebook accounts and browse all of our previous chats without any hassle, you may want to save a certain conversation that you had with a friend to look back on and get some enjoyment out of. You may want to save a certain conversation from proving that you are being cyberbullied. You may want to save a conversation where your friend sent lots of old pictures which gave you a flashback of your childhood.

There are many reasons for wanting to save an old Facebook conversation, and unfortunately, Facebook doesn't have a built-in saving system for conversations. However, there are a few ways to work around Facebook's system and save Facebook messages & conversations with a few nifty tricks. There are methods to do this on both your computer and on your iOS Device.

Part 1: Save Facebook Messages on Your Computer

There are two methods you can use when saving Facebook messages on your computer. The first method allows you to save the conversation in a computer file, and the second file allows you to have a physical copy of the conversation. Also, you could try the best Facebook tracker.

Method #1. How to Save Facebook Messages on PC

This first method is fairly simple and shouldn't take you too much time to complete!

#1 – Open your internet browser and go to Facebook.
#2 – Once on the Facebook homepage, log into your account and wait for the website to fully load.
#3 – Once Facebook has loaded, go to your Inbox that is located in the top right corner of the website, and click the See All option which will take you to inbox where you can see all of the messages you have ever sent.
#4 – Once you are on your inbox page, locate the conversation on the left panel that you want to save and click on it.
#5 – After clicking on the conversation, click and highlight the section of the conversation that you want to save.
#6 – After you have it selected, you can either right-click the text and choose the Copy option, or hold down CTRL+C. They both perform the same task, so either works.
#7 – Once you have copied the text, create a new text file on your desktop and name it appropriately.
#8 – Open the newly created file, and either click on the Paste option under the Edit heading or hold down CTRL+V. Both of these do the same task, so either of them works.
#9 – Now that you have the conversation in a text document, you can save it using CTRL+S.

Now that you have copied the necessary conversation into a text document, you are able to access it at any time and use it for whatever you want without risking the loss of it.

Method #2. Getting a Physical Copy of your Facebook Messages

#2 – Once on the Facebook homepage, log into your account and wait for the website to fully load.
#3 – Once Facebook has loaded, go to your Inbox that is located in the top right corner of the website, and click the See All option which will take you to the inbox where you can see all of the messages you have ever sent.
#4 – Once you are on your inbox page, locate the conversation on the left panel that you want to save and click on it.

These six simple steps will provide you with a hassle-free way of getting a physical copy of all your Facebook messages.

Part 2: Save Facebook Messages on an iOS Device

Saving Facebook Messages on an iOS device is slightly harder than on a computer. This is because we aren't able to simply copy and paste text into blank documents as easily as we are able to on our computers, as well as how we cannot connect our iPhones to printers. This makes both the methods in the 'Save Facebook Message on Your Computer' section completely useless. So, how can we get past this obstacle and successfully save Facebook Messages on an iOS device?
