Latest version
Version 1.2.2
Released Sep 2, 2026 - 43.83 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later• Fixed: after using a period shortcut, picking a date by hand could become impossible — each field constrained the dates selectable in the other. You were left with a single bound set and, with no start date, the export walked the whole conversation. The two fields are now independent; the pair is validated when the export starts.
• New period shortcuts: Today, Yesterday and Last 2 days (today + yesterday), alongside 7 days, 30 days, 1 year and All.
• With no start date, the panel warns that the whole conversation has to be walked.
• The selected period is echoed while messages are being fetched, so you can see at once that it was taken into account.Source code released under All Rights Reserved

Version 1.2.1
Released Sep 2, 2026 - 43.69 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later• Fixed: after an extension update, an already-open Instagram tab kept running the previous version of the export script. New options showed up in the panel but were ignored on export — typically, a chosen date range was not applied and the whole conversation was exported. The panel now detects that mismatch, explains it, and offers to reload the tab.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 1.2.0
Released Sep 2, 2026 - 43.39 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later• New: export by date range. Two date fields (plus 7-day / 30-day / 1-year shortcuts) restrict the export to a span of days, both bounds included. The range also bounds the collection: pagination stops as soon as it has gone past the start date, so exporting one week of a three-year conversation only downloads that week. The period appears in the file names and in the header of the HTML, TXT and JSON exports.
• Fixed: your own messages were labelled with a numeric id (“109497917111731: Okey”) instead of your username. On threads served by GraphQL, Instagram identifies senders by an internal id and never lists the account holder among the participants; the extension now recognises and names them.
• The account holder no longer shows up as a numeric participant in the export header either.
• When a message cap is combined with a date range, it now applies after filtering: you keep the last N messages of that period.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 1.1.4
Released Aug 13, 2026 - 41.79 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later• Fixed: some conversations failed to export immediately with an “HTTP 500” error. Instagram no longer serves those over its legacy API — they are now detected and exported through GraphQL.
• Thread detection is instant again: it no longer walks the inbox before asking the right API (the panel could sit on “Analyse de la conversation…” for some thirty seconds).
• A conversation opened straight from its URL is recognised even when it is a message request.
• If the legacy API rejects the thread mid-export, the export now switches over instead of failing.Source code released under All Rights Reserved

Version 1.1.2
Released Aug 6, 2026 - 41.47 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later• Message requests now appear in the conversation list and can be exported.
• Conversations longer than 2000 messages are exported in full: history is walked back to the first message.
• Fixed a failure when building the ZIP archive on Firefox.
• Emoji and profile pictures are no longer saved as attachments, and each image is exported once, at its best resolution.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
