Facebook conversations take place through the Facebook chat platform. You can chat online with any of your Facebook friends who are online at the same time you are. If you need to go back later and pull up a chat message, you can locate it in your "Messages" folder. All Facebook messages and chat conversations are stored in this folder until you delete them or move them to your "Other" folder.
Instructions
- Go to the Facebook website. Log in to your account using your Facebook username and password.
- Click on the "Messages" link in the left pane of the home page. It is located under your profile picture.
- Click on the message you want to view. Messages are listed in reverse chronological order. Use the search box at the top-right corner of the message page to locate the message by searching on either the individual's name you chatted with or a word contained in the chat.
