Transcription:
To download the Facebook data, you first need to login to your Facebook account with the username and password.

Once you are in, find this little down arrow icon to expand the available options.

At the bottom choose ‘Settings’

Now when you are on the ‘General Account Settings’ page, find ‘Download a copy of your Facebook data.’ text at the bottom of the page.

Click on ‘Download a Copy’ and you will be taken to the download page. Here you can refer what kind of information you will get when you download facebook data to the computer.

Once you feel okay, click on ‘Start my Archive’ to request the download. This will bring you a popup notification of the download request and again choose ‘Start my archive’.

You will then greeted with a message that ‘We are gathering your information and will send an e-mail to the account email address when it is ready for download.’.

This will take about 20-30 minutes and after that, you will get an email with the download address.

Click on the link that Facebook sent to your email address to download the data to your local hard drive and click on ‘Download Archive’. You will be asked to enter the account password to authenticate the download process. Depending on the data you shared on the Facebook, the size of the file may differ. Like if you shared a lot of pictures and videos, your archive size may be around few gigs. Mine was around 800mb and you need a RAR or Zip extractor to unzip the file.

Once you unzip the file, open the folder and find index.html.
There you go. You can see your profile information, contacts, timeline, photos etc.

And here is the scary part. Facebook stored all my phonebook contacts right from the day I created my profile. And the best part here is, you can retrieve any phone number of your old friends in case if you lost it. Also, if you are an Android user, you may find the call logs too.

I will show you how you can delete these phone contacts from the Facebook in my next video. So, stay with us.
