Facebook tip – download your entire history!
Facebook – so much information!
Can’t remember what you put on Facebook a year ago? Or perhaps a few months ago but you can’t be bothered to trawl through it online? Or perhaps you’d like to use it for analytics? Or you’re just curious? Did you know that Facebook actually has a feature that lets you do this already? How cool is that!
How to download your Facebook history
Just follow the steps in the main picture and Facebook will guide you through the rest. It will take it a bit of time to gather it all up, but just be patient. When it’s ready, it will send you an email with a link that you can follow so that you can then download your account history to your PC or Mac. I’ve been on Facebook for about 5 years, and mine ran to about 300 megabytes – so it’s best to not even attempt it on your smartphone unless you’ve got a bit download package. And in any case, bear in mind that it’s probably alot of personal information – so would you really want to have it on your phone?
Once you’ve got the zip file, what next?
Zip files are meant to be unzipped, so do just that – you might want to create a separate folder first, though, and unzip it there. Once you’ve done that, just open the “index.htm” file, and browse away.
