First we’d recommend checking your message archive, as recovering messages from here is a much simpler process and your deleted messages could likely be in your archive. To do this, open the Messenger app and tap the menu icon in the top left corner. Then select Archive. Scroll through to look for the conversation you want to recover. If you find it, swipe the conversation to the left, then tap Unarchive to move it back to your Messenger inbox. Quick and easy!
Now if the conversation you’re looking to recover was not in your archive and was in fact deleted, we do have another method you can try. Open your preferred web browser and go to Facebook.com. If you aren’t logged in, sign into your account. Then, tap the menu icon in the top right corner. Select Settings. Then scroll down and tap Download Profile Information. Tap Open. Now you’ll have the option to download specific categories of information related to your Facebook account. Since we’re specifically looking for messages, I’d suggest tapping Deselect All. Then tap the check box beside Messages to only select your Messages data. Now scroll all the way to the bottom. If you know approximately when the message was sent, you can select a specific date range for the data you want to download. If you aren’t sure, leave it set to All of my Data. If you’d like to keep the file size smaller and speed up the download process, change the media quality to low. If you’re specifically looking for a message with a photo or video, leave media quality set to high. Now tap Create File. Your data will then be requested. It may take a while for the download to be prepared, it will say pending in the meantime. Once your file is ready, tap Download to download it. Then you can open the zipped file in your Files app. Once you unzip the file you can look through the folders within it to find records of your message inbox, archive, etc. If you open a conversation here, you’ll be able to read the entire conversation history. This way you should be able to find your deleted Facebook message. While it cannot be restored to the Messenger app this way like archived messages can be, this way you can at least have a record of the message you were searching for.

How do you see blocked accounts?

Go to the menu in the top left then go to settings and then privacy and safety and then scroll down until you see a tab called block accounts and thats it

What if the user is a “fb user “ then you can’t get the messages conversation that you had with them before they deleted their fb profile? 😢

[@stephanieroberts1394]

[@hanielgonzales4448]

Does not work on deleted messages

[@racquelryan1121]

I agree. Deleted messages do not appear in the file.

[@Anonymous-lk3ew]

@@racquelryan1121 you just can ask meta to send your information via settings. Then you can chose what information you want. ALL history chats with everyone. Even deleted accounts I think, don't know for sure. But all existing accounts, they can give you all chat history back. Also don't know about deleted chats, but I think they do
