Facebook is now letting users bulk transfer their text posts and notes to Google Docs, Blogger, and WordPress.com. Previously, the data transfer feature was only limited to photos and videos uploaded on Facebook.

The best part about the new Facebook tool is that you don’t need to copy-paste your past status updates manually. The copy of your transferred posts will also include the media shared along with the text post.

Without further ado, here’s how you can export your Facebook text posts and notes using Facebook’s Data Portability tool.
