Facebook: Save chat history on PC

Facebook does not save your chat history for quick download - you can only access it online. But with a few small tricks, you can also have a copy of the chat history on your computer. We'll show you the three best tricks here.

3. Save Facebook chat via copy & paste

Very simple and always applicable: Mark the chat content and copy it with a right click (shortcut: Ctrl + C). Then paste into a text document, eg on Word or OpenOffice (shortcut: Ctrl + V).

2. Save chat history as a screenshot

For shorter chat histories, a screenshot with the [Print] key is also suitable. You have now copied the screen image to the clipboard and can paste it into Word, OpenOffice and image editing programs. The advantage: The original chat design is retained. Disadvantage: Text modules cannot be copied.

1. Firefox add-on: Facebook Chat History Manager

• You can install the free add-on "FB Chat History Manager" for Firefox and then save chat histories with one click.
• To do this, however, you must register and log in before each use. After you have registered, simply click on "View History" and you can select the relevant chat for download.
