If you can't find a chat conversation on Facebook Messenger, you may have archived it. Don't worry—the chat is not permanently deleted. It'll always be available on your computer, Android, iPhone, or iPad. When you archive a Facebook Messenger chat, the conversation moves to a separate area of Messenger called Archived Chats. This wikiHow article teaches you how to view the chats you've archived on Facebook Messenger.

  1. 1

    Open Facebook Messenger. It's the icon of a purple and blue speech bubble with a white lightning bolt inside. You'll find it on your Home screen, in your app list, or by searching.

  2. 2

    Tap your profile picture. It's at the top-left corner of the screen.

    The conversation that you archived must be replied to on the other end for it to be un-archived and brought to your attention.

    This could mean that the contact has blocked you on Messenger or on Facebook.

    Do your best to remember the name, because you cannot access the archive without a specific name.

  • Question

    How do I see my archived messages on Facebook Messenger if my account is deactivated?

    Unfortunately, that's the flaw with this "hack." If you cannot recall or know the name, then you're out of luck.
