How Can You See old Twitter pictures
Do you feel sentimental when you come across any of your old photos or tweets? At the very least, I do. Most of us are so busy in our lives that we don’t have much time to revisit all of the things we’ve done in the past, including all of the tweets we’ve done on our Twitter account. Do you recall your very first tweet? Or the tweet with the most likes and retweets? That is, after all, why you are here. This tutorial will teach you all you need to know about searching for previous tweets without having to browse through your feed for hours.
Method1: Advanced Twitter Search
This is the most popular way to look for historical tweets on Twitter by date. The steps are as follows:
Navigate to the Twitter Advanced Search page at https://twitter.com/search-advanced. You will be presented with a popover window in which you must scroll down until you reach the option ‘Dates’ at the bottom.
You may enter a single date or a range of dates here. In addition to the date, you may narrow down your search results by utilizing additional advanced search parameters such as-
Tweets include a variety of words.
In tweets, hashtags are utilized.
Tweets from other people’s accounts
The number of responses, likes, and retweets you got on that tweet.
If you’re wondering how to locate past tweets from someone else, you’ll need to use the advanced search and fill out the ‘Accounts’ box. Enter the Twitter account of the person who sent the tweet, as well as the account to whom the tweet was referenced, as well as any accounts tagged in the tweet.
Once you’ve input all of the information you know about the old tweet you’re searching for, click ‘Search,’ and Twitter will display all of the relevant tweets.
Method No. 2: Using Twitter App Search
To use this technique, just log in to your Twitter account through the app, then:
At the bottom of the screen, click the ‘Search’ button.
If you wish to search Twitter by date, use the following format: from yyyy-mm-dd to yyyy-mm-dd
If you wish to find someone else’s tweets, use the following format: “from:” and the user’s username; there is no need to use “@” when searching.
If you’re searching for a certain term in a tweet, type it after the username in the search box.
To find an old tweet with a hashtag, enter”#” followed by the hashtag you’re searching for.
To search for a tweet based on user mentions, use “@” followed by the username mentioned in the earlier tweet.
You’ll also see a few categories at the top, such as Top, Latest, Video, News People, Photos, and so on; click on the category to which you believe the tweet you’re looking for belongs.
Method3: Request Archives from Twitter
Another excellent way to search your tweets is to obtain an archive of your tweets from Twitter. Twitter can provide you with a full and searchable archive of all tweets posted from your Twitter account; just follow the instructions below:
- Go to Twitter’s ‘Settings’ section: https://twitter.com/settings/account
- You’ll find the option to ‘Download an archive of your data’ under the ‘Your Account’ section.
- To continue, you must first confirm your password; click ‘Confirm’.
- Then, click ‘Request Archive’ to request a ZIP file containing the full data archive.
That’s all there is to it when it comes to utilizing this technique to search for previous tweets from your Twitter account. However, depending on the total amount of tweets, Twitter may take a few days to prepare your archive.
You will get a push notice when the archive is ready to share, and all you have to do is go to https://twitter.com/settings/account and click on ‘Download Archive.’
Summary
If you wish to read your previous tweets, you may use Twitter’s Advanced Search Method to search for tweets from a certain date. You are given various filters to select from in order to narrow down the results. It is also simple to locate old tweets of others; just utilize the Accounts section of Advanced Search and specify all of the Twitter accounts with whom the tweet is associated.
