Users love Twitter. Like Facebook or Instagram, it collects a lot of user data. There is the possibility of keeping all your information safe if you are going to close your Twitter account or if you are afraid that the social network will fail.
It is about saving all of your previous tweets, including responses, in a downloadable file that you can keep safe on your mobile device (or in the cloud, if you prefer). The good part is that we always have the possibility of downloading said data, so that we can see them all.
