Social Media

To find archived Facebook messages, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Facebook Messenger: Start by opening the Facebook Messenger app on your mobile device or go to the Messenger website (messenger.com) and log in with your Facebook credentials.
2. Click on Your Profile Picture: In the top left corner of the Messenger app, click on your profile picture or name to open your profile.
3. Tap “More” (for Mobile) or “Settings” (for Web): On the mobile app, you’ll see a “More” option; tap on it. On the web version, you’ll find “Settings” in the bottom left corner. Click on it.
4. Select “Archived:” In the “More” or “Settings” menu, you’ll see an option labeled “Archived.” Click or tap on it.
5. View Archived Messages: You’ll now see a list of your archived conversations. These are the messages you’ve chosen to archive in the past. You can click on any conversation to view its contents.
6. Unarchive a Message: If you want to unarchive a message and move it back to your main inbox, open the archived conversation and send a new message to the person. This will automatically unarchive the entire conversation.

Please note that archiving a message simply hides it from your main chat list. It doesn’t delete the conversation, and you can access it anytime from the “Archived” folder.

If you’ve forgotten your Facebook password, you can reset it through the “Forgot Password” feature. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Facebook Login Page: Visit www.facebook.com if you’re not already on the site.
2. Click on “Forgot Password?”: Beneath the password field, you’ll see a “Forgot Password?” link. Click on it.
3. Find Your Account: On the next page, enter your email address, phone number, username, or full name associated with your Facebook account. Then, click “Search.”
4. Select Your Account: If Facebook finds an account matching the information you provided, it will display your profile picture and username. Click “This is my account.”
5. Reset Your Password: You’ll be given options to reset your password. Facebook may offer to send a reset code to your email address or phone number. Choose the method you prefer and click “Continue.”
6. Retrieve the Reset Code: Check your email or phone for the reset code sent by Facebook. If you don’t see it in your inbox, be sure to check your spam or junk folders.
7. Enter the Reset Code: Enter the reset code provided by Facebook into the designated field on the page.
8. Create a New Password: After entering the reset code, you’ll be prompted to create a new password. Make sure it’s a strong, secure password that you can remember. Confirm the new password by entering it a second time.
9. Log In: Once your new password is set, click “Continue” or “Change Password” to save it. You should now be able to log in to your Facebook account with your new password.

If you’re having trouble resetting your password or regaining access to your account, you can also follow Facebook’s official account recovery process or contact their support for further assistance.
