How To Export Instagram Chat To PDF:
You just have to follow fewer steps in that case and can do this work without any hassle.
1. Download Full Instagram Data
It is always a good idea to save your data by downloading it. If in any case, you want to leave Instagram, then you can download all the data from it including all the photos, videos, stories you have posted, the comments, and even your messages or chats.
All your Instagram data can be either downloaded from the Instagram website or the app itself. To download all of your data, you will have to go to the Instagram security settings, and then seek to request your Instagram data.
To download the Instagram Chat on DM from the settings,
Step 1: First of all, open the Instagram app and then directly go to your profile page.
Step 2: After that, go to settings by clicking on three horizontal lines in the top-right corner of your screen.
Step 3: Click on “Security”, scroll to “Data and History” and tap on “Download Data”.
Step 4: Then put in your email ID and click on “Request Download”.
Step 5: After entering your password, click on “Next”.
