Then select the photo and tap the three-dot icon. From the menu that appears, tap on Save photo.

Skip Navigation. Key Points. Facebook keeps a treasure trove of information on you, which goes all the way back to when you first started to use the social network.
You can download your own archive of this information if you want to see what Facebook knows, or if you want to leave the social network and take your history with you. The idea popped into my head among mounting headlines around the alleged misuse of personal Facebook user data by analytics firm Cambridge Analytica. I wanted to know what, exactly, those potentially in possession of my data might know about me -- so despite the trepidation, I downloaded it anyway.
This file had everything -- I mean, everything -- from personal contact records that I don't even have stored on my iPhone anymore, to every single image I had sent someone over Messenger. As the title suggests: Things got weird, fast. And if you're understandably hesitant about downloading your own data, or just considering it, here's what you can expect -- and what the results mean.
When you first download a copy of your data archive and unzip it the compressed file here 's a quick how-to , it'll look something like this:. Open the general "index. Here's what the "profile" section of mine looks like, with a few sections removed for the sake of -- this old thing -- privacy.
Granted, what was available on this page was largely information I voluntarily supplied to Facebook by way of putting it on my profile, like where I went to school or my birthday.
But it was in the other sections and file folders where things started to get weird -- and where I started wondering what potential advertisers or others might be doing with it.
The "Ads" section of my data index file largely consists of an exhaustive list of ad topics that would be of interest to me. Some of them made sense, as they were brands whose Pages I already Liked. But some of the topics were downright irrelevant and, therefore, befuddling -- like "fishing bait" and "organic compound.
But there was also a section for advertisers with my contact information, many of whom were brands and musical artists whose Pages I hadn't Liked. I had to wonder, why do the Smashing Pumpkins and Beck have my contact information? I hadn't listened to either, really, since my first year of college when -- at risk of dating myself -- Facebook didn't exist yet. It raises questions about just how accessible this information is, and how widespread the availability of our data might be. While likely a bad actor, I'm inclined to believe that Cambridge Analytica isn't alone in the way it allegedly synthesized Facebook user data to get to the root of what sort of promoted content and messaging would resonate most with people.
It's also unclear how to selectively remove that data, if at all -- which could be a valuable next step for Facebook, says HubSpot Product Lead Daria Marmer. That became particularly salient when I discovered that my Facebook data includes a transcript of every Messenger interaction I've had, replete with any photo or video files I may have shared in those conversations.
Again, this might not be new. In an April earnings call , Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that as part of the social network's ongoing efforts to personalize any content seen by a given user, it would take "a couple of different approaches towards more private content as well. They will just compress your archive. Normally, you will ask, how long does it take to download a copy of your Facebook data? Well, that depends on your Facebook account size.
But in general, it takes one minute or so. If you have large files stored in your account, and you have lots of posts over the years, you need to wait 30 minutes on average. They will send a confirmation email telling you about the archive instantly, and the other one will be received later. Please remember the link should be at the bottom of the email. When you click that link, you get the below page and you just need to start the download and verify your password by entering it again.
