Downloading your Twitter archive allows you to browse a snapshot of your Twitter information, starting with your first tweet.
The drama at Twitter continues post Musk’s acquisition, and there are fears over how the service will continue, given that most employees might be considering quitting.
Mass departures highlight the reluctance of some of Twitter’s 3,000 or so employees to remain at a company where Musk earlier fired half of the workforce, including top management.
Musk issued an ultimatum to employees, asking them to prepare for a hardcore Twitter or leave with three months of pay as part of the deal.
Twitter allows users to download a digital archive of all their tweets and other data offline. Here’s how to do it.
Desktop/Laptop: Log in to Twitter on a web browser.
On the tab on the left, click on More. You should see an option labelled Settings and Support. Here, find the Settings and Privacy tab. A new page will open.
Here, navigate to Your Account > Download an archive of your data.
Android/iOS: On the Twitter app, users can request an archive of their Twitter data by tapping on their profile from the app’s main page and then navigating to Settings and Support > Settings and Privacy > Your Account > Download an archive of your data.
You will have to re-enter your password before you proceed. Twitter will then verify that it’s you following an SMS or an email.
You can then click on ‘Request Archive’ and follow on-screen instructions to download all your Twitter data.
It may take up to 24 hours or more for the data to be available, depending on the load on Twitter’s servers.
