Most users have an account on Facebook, the most popular social network in the world. If you have had an account for years or make frequent use of it, it is normal that youand end up accumulating a lot of data in the same. The social network has access to a large amount of information about the user. On many occasions more than the users themselves think.
Therefore, it is possible to download all data from Facebook account. This is a function that the social network introduced some time ago, to comply with European regulations. So that you can access this data in a simple way from the website itself.
First of all we have to log into our Facebook account. When we are inside, we click on the down arrow that is in the upper right part of the screen. A contextual menu will then appear with several options, one of which is the configuration, on which we must click then.
A new window opens, in which we are already in the configuration of the social network. We look at the left side of the screen, where a series of options appear in a column. The one that interests us in this case is the second of them, which is the one that it's called Your Facebook Information. Therefore, we click on it and we will see that a new section will appear in the center of the screen, where there are some options. The second of these options that appear on the screen is called Download your information. To the right of it there is a button that says see, we click on it.
In this section we will to be able to choose which data we want to download. The social network allows us to choose between many options (publications, photos, messages, comments, pages, etc.). In addition to being able to choose the time interval from which we want to download said data. In this sense, it is each user who must choose what they want. The ideal in this case is to download all the data, but there may be people who are looking for something specific. Once you have chosen everything you want to download, in addition to the dates, you just have to click on the create file button.
Next, Facebook informs the user that this file is being created where all the chosen data is located. Depending on the amount of data that has been chosen and the dates, the process will take more or less time. But in all cases, the social network will notify you when it is ready to download.

When the process is finished, you will receive an email where you will have access to the file in question. Although if you do not use the mail much, Facebook itself will issue a notification on the social network, where you can know that it is ready to download. This is a file that is normally sent in ZIP format. So then it's just a matter of unzipping it on your computer and having access to all the data on it. In addition, such data is usually organized in various folders. So if you were looking for some specific information, it will be easier to access them.

So it is a good way to take this into account and possibly make some changes to the account, based on this information. As you can see, the process of downloading said data does not present too many complications, so all users with an account can do it.
