How to recover your photos from Tuenti? Do you remember this social network? Tuenti was born at the end of 2006, approximately one year before the American giant Facebook. With an interface very similar to Facebook, it allowed you to keep in touch with old friends, make new ones, share images, reflections, private messages, videos... we can say that it was one of the social networks with the most "pull" among the youngest.
The company had 250 employees of 20 different nationalities. In 2009, it was the third website with the highest increase in searches, and in 2010, it became the 6th most visited website in Spain. But a figure that gives an idea of the power that Tuenti had is that of 2011, when it was estimated that 15% of Internet traffic in Spain passed through this social network , which at that time represented more traffic than Facebook and Google combined .
But in 2012, the loss of users began at a dizzying pace. Facebook was becoming stronger and more widely used internationally every day, and the emergence of instant messaging italy telegram data applications such as WhatsApp did not help the Spanish initiative either.
During 2013, with social networks gaining thousands of followers such as Instagram or Twitter , Tuenti continued to suffer a loss of active users that led it, now in the hands of Telefónica , to implement numerous changes, including its business model, focusing since then on mobile telephony.
In March 2016, Tuenti, a pioneering social network that personally brings back many fond memories for me, was finally closed.
Well, after this brief review of its short but eventful history, I am going to give you the guidelines so that you can recover those images that you posted on this social network. First of all, I would like to tell you that you will only have until August 31, 2017 , the date on which Tuenti will delete them from its servers and you will no longer be able to access them.
I recovered the images last week, and I couldn't be happier. There were images I didn't even remember, albums of events, photos I didn't even know existed; however, it's been many years since I last used this social network.
Do you remember your password? I bet you can hardly. Don't worry, you can recover it using the email address you had… You also don't remember which email address you had registered? Don't worry, this happened to me. Tuenti, since it understands that a lot of time has passed, wants to make things as easy as possible for us. In the event that you also don't remember which email account you used to log in, it will do a little "test" where it will ask for your mobile phone number, name, surname, address… and then, in a partially encrypted way, it will provide you with the email address you had as your main one.
Step 3: Account Confirmation
This is an automatic step, that is, once we have recovered the access credentials, we will be sent a message to confirm the account. This process, just like when we download WhatsApp for the second time, is automatic, that is, the code that is sent to us via message will be automatically copied and pasted into the account confirmation.
Step 4: Request for photos
Once inside, we will have to click on the section “Now you can download all your photos by clicking here” . The file will be sent via compressed email , so we will have to provide a valid email address.
