How to download Facebook profile? (2019)

Facebook settings have changed a lot in the last couple of years. We got a few new options, a few sections were moved, and some were removed.

The changes mostly followed the scandalous news about the sale of personal data of the users of this social network. Facebook wanted to restore the trust of users, so it introduced new options and improved the existing ones regarding the privacy of user data.

One of the options that has been improved, and which I am very pleased about, is downloading the complete Facebook profile.

I wrote the instructions for this 8 years ago and since then the whole process has completely changed, so I decided to write a new article.

What information can you download?

You can download literally everything! So, these include statuses, pictures, videos, comments, likes and reactions, friends lists, Stories, followers, messages, groups, events, pages… etc.

You will see the complete list in the download process.

Instructions

  1. Log in to your Facebook account
  2. Open the settings - link

  5. Once you have done that, select at the top for which period you want to download the information. The default is "Everything".
  6. And choose a format. HTML is the default and I recommend leaving it.
  7. Click "Create File" and wait
    Click "Create File" and wait

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".
