View or See Deleted Tweets With a Link
Want to see deleted tweets with a link? Paste it here. We check both twitter.com and x.com versions of that tweet for saved snapshots and show what each one actually contains.

Text readable
The snapshot contains the tweet’s words. We show them with the capture time.
Page shell only
A page was saved, but it’s the app frame without the tweet. Common for x.com links.
No snapshot returned
No copy was saved for this version. It doesn’t mean the tweet never existed.
Why does one tweet have several saved versions?
X renamed twitter.com to x.com, but the old addresses never stopped working. The result is that a single tweet can have been saved under several different page addresses — https://twitter.com/…, http://twitter.com/…, x.com/… and mobile.twitter.com/… — and a snapshot saved under one of them is not filed under any of the others.
Their contents often differ, which is the whole reason this page checks all of them instead of just the link you pasted. The same tweet can be fully readable under twitter.com and come back as a bare page frame under x.com. That split is not random: pages saved since mid-2023 frequently contain only X/Twitter’s app frame, so for a recent tweet the older twitter.com address is usually the one worth reading.
If every version comes back empty, it means no readable copy was saved for that tweet — not that the tweet never existed, and not that it has been deleted. A snapshot only tells you a page looked a certain way at a certain moment, which is why each snapshot we show you is stamped with the time it was captured, and any tweet we can read is marked “Current status unknown” rather than deleted.
Quick answers
How do I see deleted tweets with a link?
Paste the tweet’s link into the check above. It reads saved snapshots of that tweet’s page under twitter.com and x.com, so it can show the tweet’s text, a saved image and the time of capture even after the tweet or its account is gone, as long as a snapshot was saved while it was public. Without a link, search the account’s username instead.
Do I need an X account or password?
No. The link check needs no sign-in and never asks for X/Twitter credentials. It only reads snapshots of pages that were public, which is also why protected accounts are out of reach.
Which link formats work?
A twitter.com or x.com link that contains the username and /status/ followed by the tweet ID — the www. and mobile. forms work too. Tracking suffixes such as “?s=20” and photo pages such as /photo/1 are fine, because the link is reduced to its username and tweet ID before anything is looked up. A link with no username in it, such as an /i/web/status/ link, can’t be used.
Why check both twitter.com and x.com?
One tweet has a different page address under each hostname, and a snapshot saved under one address is not filed under the other. Older tweets are usually found under twitter.com, while the x.com address for the same tweet may return nothing or only a page frame — so both are worth checking.
What does “Page shell only” mean?
A page was saved at that address, but it holds X/Twitter’s app frame with no tweet text inside it. This is common for x.com pages saved since mid-2023, because of how those pages are served. The twitter.com version of the same tweet is often the readable one.
Does a result mean the tweet was deleted?
No. A result means a snapshot of that page exists. Deleted Tweet Finder never checks X/Twitter for a tweet’s current state, so a tweet it shows you is marked “Current status unknown” rather than deleted. To see whether a tweet is still up, open its link on X/Twitter.
