How to export and download your Messenger chats in 2026
Complete, free guide to saving your Facebook Messenger message history and turning it into a personalized paper book. Tutorial updated in 2026 with screenshots.
Since December 2023, Facebook Messenger has offered two distinct types of chat: Classic Messages and Encrypted Messages (with end-to-end encryption enabled).
How do you know what kind of messages you have?
Case 1: You've never activated encryption
If you've never activated end-to-end encryption in your Messenger settings, your chats are classic messages only. In this case, use the "Classic Messages" tab below.
Case 2: You have activated encryption
If you have activated encryption for certain chats, you must download the two archives separately to recover your entire history:
→ Archive 1: Classic messages ("Classic messages" tab)
→ Archive 2: Encrypted messages ("Encrypted messages" tab)
Important: If you have activated encryption after having already started a chat, some of your messages may be found exclusively in the encrypted message archive, even if the chat was started before activation. It is therefore essential to download both archives to avoid losing anything.
Once both archives have been downloaded and imported into your MonLivreSMS account, you can merge the two chats to create a complete book with all your messages in a single chronology.

I am genuinely impressed. The book looks beautiful, setup took less than 10 minutes, and delivery was fast and careful.
I gave this as a Valentine's gift and it landed perfectly. Personal, meaningful, and full of moments we thought were gone.
I've ordered several volumes over the years. Each one feels special, and seeing our relationship evolve page after page is priceless.
After losing my husband, rereading our messages in print gave me comfort I did not expect. It feels like holding part of our life.
I lost my phone with years of messages. Thankfully I had already printed our chats. What a relief to still have those memories.
My wife had tears in her eyes when she opened it. This is not just a present, it's a memory book we will keep forever.
