Download your Twitter Data File
Here are Twitter's instructions for downloading your data, but there are differences from the instructions which haven't been updated. So here are the updated instructions:
- In the left sidebar of Twitter, click "More" (3 dots), and a pop up menu will show. Click Settings and Support, and click Settings and Privacy.
- Your Account section will be displayed. On the right side, click "Download an archive of your data".
- You will prompted to enter your password, so enter it and click Next.
- It will want to "Verify it's you", so click Send code.
- Enter the code that it sent to you, whether by email or SMS.
- On the right side, under "X data", click "Request archive" button. A message will be shown below that it will let you know when it's ready.
- You will be notified by email when your Twitter data is ready to be downloaded. It may take a day for it to be ready. Click on the download link in the email.
- Again, verify your password, send code, and enter the code.
- Click the Download archive button, and again.
