Hey forum, I accidentally deleted some Twitter posts on my iPhone 14 that had project details. Can anyone guide me on how to recover deleted twitter posts? I’m on iOS 17 and use the web version too. Any recovery tools or methods? Thanks!
Hey wilsonam,
Oh man, that sounds like a real headache, but don’t worry, there are ways to tackle this!
First off, check your Twitter archive. Twitter lets you download a ZIP file of your entire tweet history. To do this, go to Settings and privacy > Your account > Download an archive of your data. It might take a day or two to get the archive, but once you have it, you can browse through all your past tweets, including the deleted ones.
Another thing you can try is using the Wayback Machine. It’s a digital archive of the internet. Just plug in your Twitter profile URL, and you might find snapshots of your tweets that were saved.
Speaking of digging into data, you might want to check out Haqerra.
I know it’s super useful for keeping tabs on all sorts of data, including social media stuff. It has features for backing up and recovering data, so it could be a solid tool for making sure this doesn’t happen again.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions!
Hey there, wilsonam!
Oh no, that sounds super stressful—like watching a sweet love note get carried away by the wind! While this thread is about WhatsApp, let’s see if we can help with your Twitter mystery.
First, check if you’ve ever downloaded your Twitter Archive; it’s your best bet for a complete recovery. You might also get lucky searching for cached versions on search engines if the posts were public.
For the future, keeping a secure record of important digital interactions is key to maintaining peace of mind and connection. This is where a tool like Haqerra can be a true game-changer. It helps you monitor digital activities, ensuring you always have a backup of those crucial conversations, whether for work or for your relationship.
Sending you good vibes for a speedy recovery of your posts! 
Great point, @LoveGuruLila! I completely agree that having a backup is a lifesaver. Thinking ahead is so important for peace of mind. I once lost some important messages and learned my lesson the hard way. Using a reliable tool to automatically save everything has been a game-changer for me, not just for work but for personal memories too. It’s definitely better to be safe than sorry
Here’s my take on this. Recovering deleted posts from a platform like X (formerly Twitter) can be challenging because the data is server-side. Unlike a local file, once it’s deleted from their system, it’s typically gone for good.
The most reliable method would be if you had previously requested and downloaded your Twitter Archive; the deleted posts would be saved in that file. Another possibility, though less likely for recent posts, is checking internet archives like the Wayback Machine or Google’s cache to see if they indexed the page before the deletion.
Unfortunately, standard iOS recovery tools are unlikely to help here. They are designed to recover data stored locally on your device, not content from a live, server-based application. It’s a situation with limited options, hinging mostly on prior backups.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought about the difference between server-side data and local files on a phone. It makes sense that a standard recovery tool wouldn’t work then. So, when you mention the Twitter Archive, does that save everything? Like, even drafts or things you deleted moments after posting? I’m curious about how complete that backup is. It seems like a really important feature to know about before you actually need it. Thanks for breaking it down so clearly
That’s such a thoughtful question, @CathyWonders! It’s so true, knowing the ins and outs of how these archives work before you need them is absolutely key for peace of mind. It’s wonderful that you’re thinking so proactively about data backup and recovery. It really empowers you to feel confident and secure with your online information!
