Echofon view threads4/29/2023 Tweets don't show up in search, only on profile of sender (tweet showsĪs 'this tweet is unavailable' and message is "sorry you are notĭabr.co.uk - basic functionality Twitter app "you are not authorised to see that status". A friend reported they could see conversation threads on Chrome (though only on multi-person tweets, not one-to-one conversations) however Twitter's had another update since the latest one and this may no longer be the case.Ĭlicking on a referred link also fails to show me the tweet and returns Their tweets don't show up, and clicking on a reply no longer brings up their tweet in the conversation thread. Profile view: I can't see it if I try and visit, it says they've blocked me. Twitter for desktop / browser (ie on Firefox) especially if they're different from mine. I've done a quick test with a couple of accounts and apps and, thanks to a handy alternative medicine quack who's blocked me and who helpfully provides a testing ground, I present my results below ) Feel free to share your findings too in the comments. More detailed information for block function enthusiasts (can't just be me, surely!) Please let anyone that needs to know, know, thanks. Remember that third party apps (Echofon for iPhone, Twicca for Android etc) often behave very differently from official apps and can let people you've blocked see your tweets.Įvery time Twitter updates block I see a lot of tweets from people commenting that others now can't see their tweets - but they can, always have been able to and always will be able to. If you've blocked someone you'll no longer see their tweets, even if retweeted - this is a new and positive step for most people. On official Twitter apps such as desktop / browser Twitter and Tweetdeck (owned by Twitter I believe) it seems that you can no longer see anything, no profiles, no tweets in search. I used to think I had a reasonable handle on Twitter's block but how it is implemented (how it appears to the user) has become increasingly app- and platform-dependent so it's really not possible to say with much confidence what someone will see if they're blocked / if you've blocked them. The conflict between people's own experiences of using Twitter, the information Twitter gives about the block (and other news reports) and what is actually possible when using the service is the reason for this update / post. The only way to stop someone (even one person) from seeing your tweets is to make your account private. Twitter's released a new update in the last few days (people can now retweet themselves, which might prove interesting) and they've really tightened up the block function - but claims that 'blocked people can't see your tweets' are, and always will be, incorrect. Other workarounds include using a third party app to view your tweets, or using a secondary account (or even searching on Google). When max_entry_id is not in the json response, you are at the begin of the thread.People can always see your public tweets, even if you've blocked them, by just logging out. You need to use the value of the min_entry_id variable in the response as the new max_entry_id in each subsequent iteration to get the next 20 older tweets. The max_entry_id value is not required for the first request. The main idea is to make requests in loop by calling the following URL with a valid auth_token cookie value for the authentication and parse the json response: The script just simulate the "scrolling method" and parse the result. I have created a tool ( ) to download my direct messages, with the ability to also download the uploaded images and GIFs (as MP4).īecause it does not rely on the API, it is possible to download more than 200 messages. Maybe I can help you with the second idea. Use a tool to simulate the browsing of a conversation and parse the result.Use the Twitter API and deal with its limitations: only the latest 200 direct messages can be retrieved.If there are not deleted and you just would like to download them to keep them offline, there are two ways to do this: Like Zedinc pointed it, the DMs are not part of your archive (because I guess it would require to contain tweets from other people of your conversations to make sense). I am not sure what you mean by "get back" your direct messages.
