You can download "a copy of your Facebook data" in Facebook setting page. It includes Messenger (chat) messages log in file messages.htm, which we targets on. Currently we request that you download your archive in English interface.
In the website UI, click upload in the navigation bar above, and upload messages.htm.
The messages will be processed in background, which may takes about 1-2 minutes. Depend on how many messages log to be processed.
In view tab, you can view all the history message.
