There is no doubt that Facebook is the most popular and most prominent social networking website out there. Over a billion people are using Facebook. There are countless reasons, why Facebook is popular, and one of the reasons is compatibility and features. We often talk to someone related to business, family, etc. If you want to backup Facebook messages or all the conversations, you can follow this guide.

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites. Although there are so many controversies, people still use this website without any worry. Over the past couple of years, Facebook brought some severe changes in the features and user interface. Previously, users could talk to other Facebook friends using the Facebook app. However, now that is not possible since Facebook has blocked the Facebook app to be used for that purpose. Now, you need to download the Facebook Messenger app, which is compatible with Android as well as iOS.

This is possible to send or receive messages via Facebook Messenger. Although there is a dedicated website for checking Facebook messages, most people use the facebook.com to do that. It doesn’t matter which app or website you use to check messages or conversations, that doesn’t allow you to download all the messages to your computer. Sometimes, this is quite important to keep an offline backup.

Although Facebook doesn’t delete any message without the user’s consent, many people need to back them up for different purposes. If you think you should download a backup of Facebook conversations, you can do that with the help of these following steps.
