How to View Old Tweets on Your Own / Other People's Twitter

Maybe you want to reminisce or feel bored with other people’s tweets (idols?) last year or several years ago. It turns out that there is a way to view old tweets that is very simple, and easy to do.

Actually you can see someone’s old tweets by scrolling down which is a manual way of viewing old people’s posts in a tedious way.

Scrolling down is not an effective way, apart from being afraid that our thumbs will get tired, Twitter also limits the display of posts that can appear on the timeline to a maximum of 3,200 tweets.

So if your tweet is more than 3,200, you can’t see other tweets that are more than 3,200.

How to Quickly View Old Tweets of Yours or Others

How to View Old Tweets with Twitter Archive

This method is more suitable for opening old tweets from your own account. Because this method can only work if you know the username and password of the account. So it is more suitable if you do it to open your own tweet.

Here’s how:

This method can be done through the Twitter application or website. The method is the same, first login to your account
Go to the settings menu, then select ‘Account’ and select ‘Your Twitter data’
If you have entered the Twitter data, immediately download the Twitter data by entering the Twitter password
Click the ‘Confirm’ button, after that Twitter will send you Twitter Archive data sent via email registered to the account
Immediately check the email, then try to trace the tweets of your old Twitter account

How to View Old Tweets with AllMyTweets

AllMyTweets will help you to see your old tweets and other users. This method may be similar to how to view old Tweets through an archive, except that you don’t need to know the username and password of another account. And AllMyTweets will send the tweet directly there, not via your Email. So more concise.

The drawback is that you have to scroll down to the bottom. Because the tweets that appear later are not the filtered ones, but all tweets from the account you are looking for will be visible.
