Twitter is one of the leading online news and social networking sites worldwide. If you're one of 335 million monthly active users, you know how informative this social media app is.

Surprisingly though, it's quite hard to find information on how to save data while using Twitter - but there's no shortage of users complaining about data 'disappearing' when they're using the app, even for a short period of time.
