Here’s How to Download Your Facebook Archives, if You Suddenly Want to Do That
Here is a guide to downloading your Facebook archives, just in case that’s something you want to do at this particular moment in time.
-
Log into Facebook, click the down-triangle icon at top right, and choose Settings.
-
On the General Settings page, near the top is the option: “To download your information, go to Your Facebook Information.”
-
Click the second option: Download Your Information.
-
The page with Your Information offers a date range near the top, so you can go as far back as you’ve used the service. You have the option to deselect any category (Posts, Photos and Videos, Comments, etc) that you may not want to receive.

Click on Create File and get ready to play the waiting game. What you do once you receive the file is up to you.
