This makes it easy to retweet, favorite, or reply to some of your older posts.Īnother interesting folder to check out is data > tweet_media. It also allows you to view a specific tweet on Twitter online. You can also use search filters and tweet dates and view replies and retweets. You can search your archive for specific terms, usernames, and hashtags using the Search field at the top. I’m a light Twitter user, but it’s still interesting to see what I was tweeting out through the years. You will also see the date the archive was generated and the estimated size of the file. You can view Home, Account, Tweets, Likes, Direct Messages, and more. Navigate through it just like you would on the website.

That file will open your Twitter timeline archive in your default browser. The main file to check out is the “ Your archive.html” file. Once your file has been downloaded, you’ll notice several files, just extract them all into one folder. Note that you will have a limited time window in which you can download your archive. Just follow the instructions on your app or email notification. Once you get the message that Twitter has your archive ready it’s time to download it. The amount of time it takes to get your notification will vary. You won’t get to download your Twitter archive right away. You will get an in-app notification or email with a link to download the file. After clicking the button you will need to wait while Twitter archives your data. Now on the next page click the Request archive button. Type it in the “Password” field and click the Confirm button. On the next page, you will need to confirm your password. Next, on the Settings page, click on Your account and then Download an archive of your data. Then from the menu that pops up click on Settings and privacy. Then click on More from the menu on the left-hand side. Launch a browser on your computer and log in to your Twitter account if you’re not already.
