Messenger doesn't have a full chat export, but copy and paste and screenshot work perfectly. Copy the best bits, or screenshot the conversation — the desk reads it either way.

For any app without an export: screenshot it or copy and paste the best bits. That's all you need.

Start with copy and paste. It works. Right now. No setup needed.
