How To Print A Facebook Messenger Groupchat As A Book
A Messenger groupchat comes in Meta's download of your messages. Ask for Messages only, as JSON, and upload the zip Meta sends. Some newer encrypted chats are not in that download, and screenshots work for those.
How do I print a Facebook Messenger groupchat as a book?
Download your messages from Meta's Accounts Center, which includes your groupchats, and upload the zip to read receipts. Open Meta's download page for Messenger and sign in. Choose Download or transfer information, then Some of your information, and tick only Messages. Choose Download to device, set the format to JSON and media quality to Low, then create the file. Meta emails you when it's ready, often within the hour, and you download the zip from the link in that email.
What if the groupchat is missing from the download?
Some newer encrypted chats aren't in Meta's download, and screenshots of the chat work instead. After you choose your book, pick Screenshots, tick the box and upload them, up to 100, 20 at a time. For a longer conversation, contact us and a person on our team takes the screenshots by email and sets up your book with you, free. That person sees what you send.
Do I need a computer?
No, Messenger can be done from the phone. The Messenger guide has the link to Meta's download page. read receipts is not affiliated with Meta.
What is in the zip Meta sends?
The zip holds your conversations as files made for software to read, not for printing. A long conversation is split across several files. Upload the zip itself. Meta's own email only has a link that needs your login.
Does everyone in the groupchat have to agree?
One person makes the book, and you are asked to confirm the others would be happy to be in it. We never contact anyone else in the groupchat. With a group, ask them. It is their writing too.
Do the photos in the groupchat print?
No, the book is words only, and it marks where a photo or a voice memo was sent. Each person's name is printed beside what they wrote.
What does it cost, and can everyone get a copy?
The paperback is $49 and the hardcover is $89, and you can order the same book again from its page for each person. We ship within the US only for now, and the digital edition goes anywhere by email.
