How To Print Facebook Messenger Messages

Messenger has no print button. To print a whole conversation, download your messages from Meta's Accounts Center, then print the file or have it set as pages. Some newer encrypted chats are not in that download, and screenshots work for those.

Download Your Messages

  1. Open Meta's download page for Messenger and sign in: Messenger downloads.
  2. Choose Download or transfer information, then Some of your information, and tick only Messages.
  3. Choose Download to device, set the format to JSON and media quality to Low, then create the file.
  4. Meta emails you when it's ready, often within the hour. Download the zip from the link in that email.

Some newer encrypted chats aren't in Meta's download. If yours is missing, screenshots of the chat work instead.

What You Get

The zip holds your conversations as files made for software to read, not for printing. Opened as it is, a conversation reads as code, and a long one is split across several files.

As Pages

Upload the zip to read receipts, or email it to the address we give you, and the conversation is set as pages, in order, with each person's name beside what they wrote. Attach the zip itself: Meta's own email only has a link that needs your login. The Messenger page has the same steps with the book in mind.

If You Want It As A Book

read receipts prints a Messenger conversation as a book, with every message in the order it was sent. You look through every page before anything prints.
