(Pocket-lint) – If you want a copy of your Twitter data, in the form of all your Tweets, to keep valuable memories or to know you have them in case the social media service ceases to exist , there is a process.
It takes a few steps and isn’t the fastest, but it will allow you to upload a file containing all of your Tweets. Here’s how.
How to download all your Tweets
There are several steps to follow, we have presented them below.
You can also find a guide to the procedure on the Twitter site, here.
- First, go to the settings menu of your app or Twitter page.
- Go to “Your account” and select “Download an archive of your data”.
- Enter your password and confirm it, then choose whether you want to receive a verification code by email or text message.
- When it arrives, enter the verification code you receive and continue.
- You will now see the “Request archive” option.
- You now have to wait up to 24 hours to receive an email or notification that the archive is ready.
- Once you are informed that it is ready, go back to the same part of the settings menu and click on “Download data”.
- Wait for the download to complete, then unzip the .zip file to access your data.
And There you go ! In many ways, this is a simple process, but it can take a bit of time if you’ve been a prolific Tweeter for many years.
