The Facebook platform, both from your computer’s browser and from the mobile application, offers you different functions so that you can make the most of it. When we talk about the function of being an instant messaging application, we can say that it allows you to order the messages that you receive in your account.
When we talk about ordering, we refer to the option that it gives you to be able to archive the chats that you no longer want to have in the main tray. But what if you want to see and recover them? In this development we will explain how to easily view and retrieve archived chats in Messenger .

How to find all archived conversations in Messenger?
Conversations that are archived in Messenger are not deleted from the platform, rather, this is done to organize chats that are no longer recent in your account.
From the phone
If you are using the Messenger mobile application downloaded on your Android or iPhone mobile, the steps you must follow are very simple and fast. When you are on the main screen of Messenger, tap on your profile picture that appears in the upper left corner and select ‘Archived Chats’ from the options that appear.
In the computer
When you are accessing your Messenger account through its website from your computer, the steps are just as simple. When you are on the main screen of your account, look for the 3 horizontal dots at the top of the screen, and there choose the ‘Archived Chats’ option.
How to search for a specific conversation that is archived?
This is a similar process to what we did earlier to find and view all archived chats; and of course, in each device you can have a slightly different step.
In the mobile app
Using the application on your Android or iPhone mobile, the steps are completely the same; The first thing is to enter your Messenger account. Once you are on the main screen, from ‘Chats’ at the top of the screen press ‘Search’ and in the search bar write the name of the user.
In the App for computers
If you have the desktop version of Messenger installed, you’ll find the search on screen option at the top , and just click on it. In the same search bar that appears, place the name of the person you want to search for and when it appears, click on the chat.
From the website
Now, from the Messenger website itself, go to the ‘Search in Messenger’ option and in the search bar type the name of the contact. When he appears on the screen, click on him to be able to send him a new message in the same chat they had before.
What are the steps to recover archived messages on Facebook?
If you want to recover a conversation that you have previously archived in your account, you can do it by following a couple of very simple steps as we have explained.
from cell phone
To retrieve a chat that has been archived from the application on your mobile, you must do the same procedure that we explained before to search for the specific chat. Once you select the chat and enter it and send a message, the chat will automatically go to the main Messenger tray.
from a computer
From your computer the steps are the same; placing the name of the user of the chat you want to recover in the Messenger search engine. And as soon as you send the first message to that person, all the messages, that is, this conversation will be recovered and will go to the inbox .
How to see other hidden messages in Messenger?
These messages that are hidden in Messenger, that is, they will never appear in your inbox unless you accept them, are stored in a separate folder.
We find this folder or option in Messenger as the message requests that come to you from people you don’t have added to the Facebook platform. To find it, you must click on the 3 horizontal dots that are at the top of the platform in the ‘Message requests’ option
