There are many users who do not know but for a long time you can download your twitter story. And it is that, contrary to a widespread belief, from a certain number of messages, it is not possible to get to the previous ones, which are however archived and still accessible via their direct URL. Now, if you want to review your oldest messages, be it from retweeting to deleting, you need to use the advanced search or, ideally, download your story to review it for convenience.
To download your Twitter story, you need to consider that the social network try to make the process very secure, that is, even if you are logged in, you must prove yourself, and whether or not you have enabled two-factor identification, this will also be enabled to allow you to access the feature. Additionally, and as you can see below, it is not a direct process. On the contrary, you will probably have to wait at least 24 hours before you can download it.

How to download your Twitter story step by step
