Method 1: Check the Archived Conversations
On Desktop
Go to Facebook.com and log in.
Click on the Messenger icon in the top right corner.
Click on "See All in Messenger" at the bottom of the drop-down.
On the left sidebar, click on "More" and then "Archived."
On Mobile App
Open the Messenger app.
Tap on your profile picture in the top left corner.
Tap on "Archived Chats."
If you archived the conversation instead of deleting it, you will find it here.
Method 2: Recover from a Backup
If you've backed up your phone, you may be able to recover deleted messages from a backup.
Android
Go to "Settings" > "Google" > "Backup."
Select the appropriate backup and restore.
iOS
Go to "Settings" > [Your Name] > "iCloud" > "Manage Storage" > "Backups."
Choose a backup to restore from.
Method 3: Download Your Facebook Data
Go to Facebook.com and log in.
Click the drop-down arrow in the top right corner.
Go to "Settings & Privacy" > "Settings."
In the left column, click "Your Facebook Information."
Next to "Download Your Information," click "View."
You can customize the data you want to download. Make sure to include messages.
Once the data is ready, Facebook will notify you. Download and check if your deleted messages are there.
Method 4: Contact the Other Person
If you've deleted a chat, the other person involved in the conversation may still have it. You can ask them to send you a copy of the chat history.
Method 5: Check your email
Facebook sometimes sends message summaries to your email. Check if you have any old emails from Facebook that might contain the chat you're looking for.
Method 6: Consult Professional Help
If the messages are extremely important, there are professional data recovery services available, but these can be expensive and there's no guarantee of success.
Disclaimer
Always be cautious when restoring backups or using third-party services for data recovery. Make sure to back up your current data to prevent any loss.
If none of these methods work, it's likely that the chat is permanently deleted and can't be recovered.
