While it's no longer possible to search tweets by date in the Twitter mobile app, you can still do so using Twitter's advanced search in your mobile web browser. This workaround makes it easy to search tweets from a specific user and date range on your Android, iPhone, and iPad. You can still use the X app to sort your search results in order, which may come in handy.
Things You Should Know
- To search tweets by date, you'll need to use your browser app, not the X app.
- Log in to your X/Twitter account in your web browser, then go to https://www.twitter.com/search-advanced.
- Enter your search criteria, specify the dates you want to search, and tap "Search" to view tweets.
Steps

Log in using your mobile web browser. The option to search tweets by date is no longer possible in the X mobile app, but you can still do it using Chrome, Safari, or any other browser at https://www.twitter.com. It's easy!- Once the Twitter login page appears in your browser, follow the on-screen instructions to log in.
- If you're not logged in to your X account, you won't be able to search tweets.

Enter the words you want to search for or omit (optional). If you want to search tweets that contain specific words and phrases, enter those phrases into the boxes in the "Words" section.- For example, to search tweets by date containing "Lauryn Hill," enter Lauryn Hill into the "This exact phrase" field. This ensures you'll only see tweets containing those two words in order.
- You can also specify words you don't want to include. For example, if you don't want to include "Fugees," type Fugees into "None of these words."
