On android you can select "export chats", select contacts and then send it to where you want it.

You can do that on iOS as well. That has been a feature for a long time.

Yes, individual chats, and not a complete record last time I tried (no "when received / when read" times; no attachments). There's a simple SQLite file containing everything; They upload it to google drive unencrypted, but neither google nor facebook will give you an unencrypted copy.

When you make a local backup, it is encrypted, and Facebook doesn't think you deserve a copy of the key or an unencrypted copy.
