Can I download my data from X?
Yes. X offers an account archive request in its settings. The archive may take time to prepare, and the available data depends on X’s current options and your account.
Have this ready
- Access to your X account
- Access to your registered email or phone
- Secure storage for the archive
Step by step
- 1Sign in to X through its official app or website.
- 2Open settings and look under account or data-related options.
- 3Find the archive or download-your-data request and follow the prompts.
- 4Complete any identity verification requested within X.
- 5Return to the account when X says the archive is ready and download it.
Want it done with you?
I can walk you through it in a Magic Box, show you the exact clicks, or do it with you and keep the recording. You log in yourself; I never see your password.
Common questions
Does the archive include deleted content?+
Do not count on that; the archive reflects what X makes available for your account at the time of the request.
