Want to know what your first Tweet was? If it was over 3,200 Tweets ago, you won't see it on your timeline. However, you can find your old Tweets by performing a search. This wikiHow will show you how to search your Tweets using Twitter's advanced search function.
Steps
-
1Go to https://twitter.com/search-advanced in a web browser. The mobile app does not support the advanced search feature, so you'll need to access the website to use it.
-
2Type your username in the "From these accounts" field. You'll see this under the "People" section header.[1]
-
3Use the pop-up calendars to select dates for the "From this date" and "to" text fields. Click on the arrows next to the date to scroll through the calendar. You can also click on the year multiple times to change the year specifically. Once you click the year, you can pick the month, then the day.
- If you need the date you joined Twitter, you'll find it on your profile.
- You can fill in the fields to specify your search or leave them blank to see all your Tweets.
-
4Click Search. You'll see this at the bottom of the form.[2]
