Copying a BBM chat on Z10

I know this may have been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer.
I have a BBM chat on my phone which goes back a couple of months. I really want to back this up as I can't lose it. How can I copy the entire chat? When I select copy, it only copies the messages from the past day and not the entire chat. 
Is there any way of copying the whole chat, or another way of backing it up so I can open it on my pc?
Thank you 

If you want to be able to view your chat history after you end a chat, you need to change your BBM options. Swipe down from the top of the screen of BBM app, Set the Save Chat History switch to On. BUT, they will restored ONLY if that BBM contact send you a new BBM message. If you didn't set history setting On, they are gone.
Also, you still can copy entire BBM chat. Open your chat, tap three dots at bottom right, select copy chat. A pop up message 'chat copied' appear. Paste it to your email. It will paste entire chat.

  • Q10 does not copy entire BBM chat text

    My previous three BB's all copied the entire BBM Chat text when you selected menu option COPY CHAT.  My new Blackberry Q10 does not copy the entire text of the BBM chat (meaning all the chat history back to the beginning of that chat conversation).   It is only copying about 8 messages worth (even though I have many days of chat in the full chat history).
    Why is this?  Any clues?   I restarted my phone in case it changed something, but no luck, It still only copies a small portion of the chat conversation.   - and given there are hundreds of individual messages, I dont want to copy each message one by one.
    thank you for anyone who can help.
    regards

    Is the chat available on screen to read, that which you are attempting to email?

  • Z10 in Brunei: BBM chat working and not BB icon.

    I have a BB10 Z10 unlocked device, which I am using in Brunei. The network provider is DSTcom. The carrier have a normal BIS base BB plan. I have a data plan enabled SIM card. When I use the SIM card in Z10, I don’t get either the BB 4 icons on the top right hand corner or BBM chat. BBM voice works fine, and all other data services are working (BlackBerry World, e-mail, facebook, etc). Had a long chat with DSTcom today and they said that they are not putting any block on the BB10 devices. I understand that there might potentially be a lock on their APN imposed by BlackBerry. I am not sure what that means, but understand from the carrier that this is outside their control.
    Can you please advise if BlackBerry will restrict BB10 device usage in a country where the device has not been officially launched yet? If so, why? The whole idea with BB10 was that it is only using a data connection and should be a direct competitor (as I see it) with other devices.
    I look forward to hear from you. 

    Just buy the company and gett it fixed. you can afford it!

  • Please help bbm chat history

    Hi,
    I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping you can help me. I have been having a conversation with one of my messenger contacts and wanted to check something that was mentioned earlier in the day but was unable to do so. I have history turned on and set to save to my device. I checked the chat history and one part of my conversation seems to be missing whilst the rest is there...this is only the case for this contact as I have full histories for all other contacts. Please can somebody help me with this!
    Thanks in advance....

    With regard to saving BBM chat history on the Z10:
    1. Can saved BBM chat history be searched (other than by manually scrolling through vast amounts of text)?
    2. Can saved BBM chat history be transferred, let's say, as a text file, for archiving and searching by some other means / on some other platform?
    2.a. I understand that one can "email a BBM chat", but only a handful of the latest lines of a chat are incorporated into an email - not useful if one is looking to copy older excerpts?
    2.b. Where is BBM chat history saved? Device? SD card? Is there a directory path that we can follow to access the history?
    3. What is the purpose of saving all of this history if it cannot be efficiently accessed / searched / archived / used?
    Thanks for any insight.

  • Transfer BBM Chats to new Device

    Hi,
    I am trying to transfer my BBM Chat History from my old Z10 to a new Classic.  I have followed every resource I can find, especially from CrackBerry.  No Luck.
    I have backed up my BBM chat history fromthe Z10, but can't restore it onto my Classic.
    Please help.  I have chats that I really cherish and want to transfer onto my new Classic.
    I didn't expect to have a "classic" phone issue where every time we transfer something we lose all text/contacts/information.  If text messages can get transfered, why can't BBM chat history?
    Thanks,
    TrDxIt

    BBM for BlackBerry 10, Android, iOS and Windows Phone does not support transferring individual BBM chat history between devices. The only conversations that transfer when switching devices are BBM Group conversations.
    BBM for BlackBerry OS does save the individual chat history to the device memory which can be found at /home/user/im/BlackBerry Messenger/history/
    BBM for BlackBerry 10, Android, iOS and Windows Phone does not save the BBM chat history is a accessible location.
    For more detail about BBM Chat History check out this post I put together last year > How to save precious moments using BBM Chat History. 
    Obviously you would like support for transferring BBM Chat History so I’ll pass along your feedback for future consideration.

    Is there a way to set it up so that a copy of every BBM message I send and receive gets sent to my PC or email or somewhere online so I can access them? I do not want to have to hook up my phone to my laptop to do this, however. Anyway of real-time wirelessly synching my BBM to my laptop.
    No, not wirelessly without backing up to the PC.
    You will need the BlackBerry Desktop Software to do that.
    Download it here:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Once you backup, you can export the backup file to a CSV database using free PC software MagicBerry by Menastep.

  • Could I download a previous version of BBM on my Z10

    hi all,
    i've been using my bbm on my Z10, but i think it's not as easy as the old BBMs.
    one thing is when I want to copy someone's message. it copies also the name of the person which is very annoying.
    Also, if i want to send a broadcast, there is no way to select the whole contacts by just one click. you have to check them one by one.
    finaly , the way it shows my contacts, i don't like it. i prefer the old one. if there is a way i could change it in this device it would be great.
    this is way i want to get back to the previous version.
    I hope you consider this problem and try to solve it, the new bbm will be MUCH better if these things will be in it
    Thanks alot

    There is no previous version of BBM for the Z10. We're stuck with what we have until they put out an update.

  • Help!!  My kid was on iChat - can I find a copy of the chat??

    If a Chat is not saved before the chat ends on 3.1.8 (v445), is there a copy of the chat on the computer?
    Thanks for a quick response.

    Hi
    When doing a text chat, you can save it by going into iChat>Preferences>Messages & clicking the box next to 'Automatically save chat transcripts'. To access it, click Open Folder & double-click teh chat you want to see. If it's a video chat you're referring to, then I don't know.

  • Protect bbm chat history from being deleted

    Hi Guys
    I'm still new here, plz help me, is it possible for me to stop the bbm chat history on a Blackberry from being deleted? Maybe set a password before deletion will take place?
    Plz help

    Hi Catman78,
    There is no such option of setting password for deletion. You can check the below KB article for checking memory leak -
    KB02843 What is the Low Memory Manager feature on the BlackBerry smartphone
    Alternatively you can save chat history in your media card.  Check the below KB article -

  • BB ID Can't Restore BBM contact on Z10

    Why My BB ID can't restore BBM contact on my Z10? I've been doing a security wipe but it does not make a difference. I did a restore again but it was too long for loading Restore. Why is that?

    Hello ErwinEdward and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you're having an issue with your BBM Contacts restoring to your device.
    Have you ever been able to use your BBM on your Z10 or are you transferring your contacts from another BlackBerry device? 
    Are you using WiFi or your data to do the BBM restore? Is there any error that displays or does it simply stick on restoring? 
    Thanks!

  • Unable to view contact profile in BBM chat after upgrading software v5

    Hi all
    I did a software upgrade to version 5 on my curve 8520
    Now i am unable to update status and profile pic on BBM chat also cannot view contacts profile pics
    Please can someone advise how to resolve

    Hiya!
     Just give it some time my friend. In some instances, it can take 24+ hours to re-sync with the BIS server and load everything. but it will do it on its own.

  • Recover bbm chat history

    hi
    i m using Blackberry Curve 9380.
    i wish to recover my complete bbm chat history which i accidentally deleted while trying to delete a particular contact history.
    let me tell you what exactly happened.
    1) opened a particular contact chat window
    2) pressed BB Menu and scrolled up to press"view chat history"
    4) pressed BB menu and that's here where you get two options a) delete contact history and b) delete complete history.
    so i accidentally selected "delete complete history" which erased my entire saved chat history with all contacts.
    i wish to recover and view all of them in original format, what i mean by saying original is, after recovery i wish to view them all in bbm just as we normally view chats in bbm as i also want to capture some screenshots of particular chats which are very important in nature, as they happen to be associated with my business clients.
    although i have chats saved in media card  in .csv formal which is viewable in excel, but i dont wish to view them in excel format. i wish to view them in bbm.
    is there a way how i can do that. is there a way to view chats in bbm that are saved as excel files. Please help as it is very important. advice me on any particular application or software available to view bbm chats as we see them bbm.
    please please help. thanks

    Hey rajkumar_bharti,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    If you deleted the history it can not be restored in BBM.  The saved chats you do have can be viewed in CSV format but it will not be viewable in BBM.
    My apologies, let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • BBM Chat History Gone

    Hi,
    I have recently bought a Blackberry Curve and have been using bbm on it, but I have noticed that some of my chat history goes away as I use it more, and I don't know how to view it. My chat history is saved on the media card, but I can't view it on the phone. Are the earlier messages gone forever? Some were very important and I cannot find them. Please reply soon.

    Hey bflogan,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    BBM™ chat history is saved on the media card and not the backup IPD file.  In BBM press the Menu>Options and scroll down to Save Chat History and choose media card.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.
