I beg your pardon? You don't believe me? Well, know that you're wrong, retrieving Facebook chats is possible, and how! To succeed "in the enterprise" you have two different solutions at your disposal. A first system consists in trying to search through archived conversations while a second solution involves downloading a backup copy of all your data that you have shared on Facebook over time. Both solutions can prove to be effective but, you should know, to make sure that this is the case, a minimum of patience on your part is required.

Having clarified this, if you are really interested in finding out how to recover Facebook chat, I suggest you take some time off and concentrate on reading this guide. I am sure that in the end you will be more than satisfied and that at the first good opportunity you will also be ready to help all your friends in need of a similar tip.

Note: All the operations I'm going to show you below can be done without any kind of problem and in the same way from both the desktop and mobile versions of the social network. In both cases you just need to use your web browser.

Before I tell you how to proceed to retrieve Facebook chat, however, I invite you to login to your social network account, otherwise you will not be able to proceed. To do this, open your favorite web browser, type www.facebook.com in the address bar and then press the Enter button on your keyboard so that you can immediately connect to the main social network web page. Then type in your Facebook access data by filling in the appropriate fields that are shown on the screen and then click on the button with the word "Login" on it. Now that you are connected to Facebook identify the procedure that you think can do the best for you between the two below and follow the instructions.


Retrieve Facebook chats from archived conversations

If you want to figure out how to retrieve Facebook chats, the first thing I invite you to do is to try to take a look through the stored conversations, whether they have become stored intentionally or not. The archived conversations, in case you're wondering, are all those conversations made through the social network chat that seem to have been deleted but that in reality have simply been "shelved" and therefore no longer appear in the main menu of social network messages but can always be re-read and restored.

To try to recover Facebook chats from archived conversations, the first things you need to do, after logging in to the social network, is to click on the comic icon at the top right and select the item Show all attached to the box displayed on the screen.


Once this is done, press the Other item in the top left corner and select the Archived item from the menu that is shown. This way you will be able to see all the Facebook conversations that have been archived, that no longer appear in the main list of messages written or received on the social network and that therefore seem to be no longer available.


Now, to retrieve Facebook chat by acting on the archived conversations, all you have to do is bring the mouse cursor on the conversation of your interest attached to the left sidebar of the new screen displayed and click on the Cancel archive button representing a small upward arrow that is shown at the bottom right, under the name of the other person or other people who participated in the chat. After clicking the button the previously stored conversation will be moved to the main section of Facebook from where you usually view the messages exchanged with other users.


Obviously before retrieving Facebook chat as I have just indicated you can make sure that the conversation you are about to restore is actually the one you are interested in by pressing on it and taking a look at the chat history attached to the right side of the displayed screen.

As an alternative to the procedure I have just indicated you can also recover Facebook chat by accessing the Archived section, pressing on the conversion you want to act on, bringing the mouse cursor on the icon depicting a gear wheel located at the top of the screen, clicking on it and choosing the Cancel storage from the menu that is shown. Also in this case, once you cancel the storage, the conversation will be moved to the main section of Facebook from which you usually view the messages exchanged with other users.


Retrieve Facebook chat from backup copy

If the Facebook chat retrieval solution I just suggested hasn't proved effective, you can try to access the conversations you had on Facebook in the past from the backup copy of your account on the social network. A backup copy of your Facebook account allows you to always access information, photos, posts, messages exchanged with friends and anything else you have chosen to make available on the popular social network. You can click here to access the Facebook Help Center's informative web page to see the complete list of data that you can consult by creating a backup copy of your account on the social network.

To try to retrieve Facebook chat from the backup copy of your account, the first thing you need to do, after logging in to the social network, is to press on the downward arrow icon in the top right of the blue platform bar and click on the Settings item attached to the menu that is shown.

Then proceed by first clicking on Download a copy of your Facebook data attached to the General section of the left sidebar and then click on Start my archive. Then type the password for your account in the field that is now shown on the screen, press the Enter button, then click Start my archive and finally click OK.


Once this is done, when the archive containing the copy of your Facebook data is ready you will receive the link to download it directly by email, to the email address linked to your account on the social network. Please note that depending on the amount of data the operation may take more than a day.

Once you have obtained a backup copy of your data you can finally take action and then access the content of the archive, consult it carefully and, consequently, retrieve Facebook chat.
