3. Follow the Person
You can see someone’s old posts after they accept your follow request in the case of private accounts. You won’t be able to see the posts of those accounts that aren’t public. Users of Twitter can keep their accounts private if they don’t want strangers and stalkers to visit their profiles.
Thus, the private profiles don’t expose their old posts and photos to the non-followers, hence to see someone’s old posts on Twitter who has a private profile, you need to follow that person first by sending him or her a follow request.
Only when the person accepts your follow request, you’ll be able to become a follower of the account and then you can see all the previous and old photos of the user.
But for the public profiles, you’ll be able to stalk & see all the posts and photos of it without any restrictions even if you don’t follow the account.
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: Open the Twitter application.
Step 2: You’ll be able to search for the user whose old photos you want to see by using the search box and then clicking on the account from the result list.
Step 3: After you get into the account you’ll see Follow button. You need to tap on it to send the ‘Follow’ request.
Once the request gets accepted you’ll be able to see the old tweets and pictures of the private account.
4. Other Social Media
You can even visit the other linked social media profiles of the user to view the pictures of the users. Twitter lets users link their other social media accounts with their Twitter accounts using social links.
Therefore, if a user has linked his or her other social media profiles like Facebook or Instagram with Twitter, you’ll be able to see those links on the Twitter profile page of the user.
If you want to see someone’s old pictures you can go to his or her other social media profiles too. But to do that, you don’t need to search for the same user on other social media platforms as it can be a lot of work to find someone on Facebook or Instagram and then view their old pictures on posts.
Instead, you can open their Twitter profile, and then on the profile pages, you’ll be able to see blue links of other social media profiles just below the bio section.
Once you click on any link, it will direct you to the social media profile page of the user, and from there you’ll be able to see the old pictures and posts.
But if you don’t find links to other social media profiles on the Twitter profile page, you’ll be able to search for the person using the apps of Facebook and Instagram to view their old pictures.
🔴 Steps To See:
Step 1: Open the Twitter application.
Step 2: Search for the user using the search box.
Step 3: As you enter the profile page of the user’s Twitter account, you’ll be able to see links to Facebook or Instagram attached below the bio section.
You can click on the link to directly enter the Facebook or Instagram profile of the user to see the old pictures.
