Difficult:
If you intend to backup and conserve your messages with somebody in a clean PDF form, this is the overview for you. Be prepared to work for it though, as it might take rather some time if you desire to save a great deal of messages.
If you're like me and also you wish to save every message with somebody because you do not trust Facebook's servers or if you simply want a tidy means to view your messages with a person to think back, you're in the appropriate place! Regardless of the factor, here's my finest attempt to explain the best ways to conserve them all! See to it you have a good computer if you plan on doing this method!
- To start, open a web browser like Google Chrome that has a print to PDF function.
- Most likely to http://m.facebook.com/messages/ (Notice that this is the mobile version of Facebook for phones.).
- Click the individual you want to see the first message with.
- Download an auto mouse remote control application such as "Free Mouse Auto Clicker" for Windows or "Auto Mouse Clicker" for Mac.
- Script your computer to systematically click the "See older messages" switch as well as repeat after a second or two. This is where you're mosting likely to require a good computer due to the fact that numerous internet browsers crash as soon as the RAM is maxed out.
- After the computer starts to slow down, which it will, stop the auto clicker, click print and also choose conserve as PDF. My computer could usually make it with a couple of months of messages before you need to make a PDF.
- Ensure to check images and also uncheck headers if you're using Chrome.
- Right click the "See older messages" button once again and click "open in new tab." Close the full and slow tab.
- Currently all you have to do is repeat the procedure!
I want you good luck, as this is the hardest technique of saving your messages, yet one of the most fulfilling. If you need aid, I'm always right here! Simply do not inquire about ways to utilize the Macro app. You just have to Google around or read the help document if you're stuck.
