Twitter is the source of a lot of breaking news stories every now and then — so much so that many stories first appear on Twitter. But in addition to actual news content, you may also be bombarded with tons of tweets from the people you follow, but you might not want to watch content from them every day. Those familiar with how the app works know that Twitter first shows you pre-loaded tweets from the past, and then gives you the option to view newer tweets when you launch or refresh the app.
How to Search for Old Tweets from a Specific User on Twitter by Date
When you refresh, you might miss a tweet from someone you follow, as there may be many other more recent tweets on your timeline. In such cases, you might want to search for tweets from someone, and if you don’t want to endlessly scroll through a series of tweets, there’s now a new way to filter tweets with certain keywords based on a user ID.
In this post, we'll help you filter someone's tweets so you can search for a specific topic that person may have tweeted about.
Twitter has begun rolling out an update to its mobile app that adds a new search option to the top of the screen when you open someone's profile on the platform. This option helps you filter tweets from that person by letting you search for keywords within any of their tweets. The new feature can be used to search for tweets made by someone about a specific topic or to dig up old tweets from someone you know.
