How to recover photos from tuenti

history tuenti

Tuenti started 12 years ago, in 2006, year in which Zaryn Dentzel, founder of the company, decided to settle in Spain and develop this software, ahead of the time of the then growing Facebook that did not have the impact of today, at that time it housed one of the largest amounts of users in social networks at the time, kept everyone on the edge of the screen to review the news and photos of friends and acquaintances, if you were not in Tuenti, "you did not belong to society" as such, something similar to what Facebook represents today.

When the news, that Telefónica Movistar, would close Tuenti as a social network in 2016, It did not surprise anyone, it is evident that what became the number 1 social network among adolescents a few years ago is now a thing of the past, but perhaps many remember the publications they made, many of these marking crucial stages of their lives , will be explained later, How to recover photos from tuenti.

Tuenti's business as a virtual mobile operator, became the main source of income for the company, so they did not see the need for the continuity of the social network.

Tuenti was aimed at college twentysomethings, but of course many teenagers did accounts, although the age limit was 14 years, you can always lie on the forms to get an account, this is why it quickly became a form of communication , broadcasting and entertainment, reaching in 2009 to position itself as the most popular social network in the country, putting itself above Facebook, reaching 2010 million users in 10.

Its impact on the 15 to 20-year-old age segment exceeded 80% of the population. Facebook back then was a boring thing.

Tuenti was the initial social network, when they got bored of having seen everything, they switched to Twitter and Facebook.

Tuenti reached the top, But suddenly, their numbers stopped increasing exponentially, they stagnated in what they offered to their users. First Twitter, then Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat ended up assassinating the Spanish social network.

Therefore, smelling that the end was approaching, the closure of Tuenti, it was a fact, in 2010 Dentzel and his team decided to sell the social network to Telefónica for 70 million euros.

Why did Telefónica buy a sinking ship?

Well, what mainly mattered to Telefónica was its crew, or rather, Its user base, 10 million is not achieved overnight. So they turned the successful social network into a mobile virtual operator before people even forgot the name of the social network. Going through a transition that has never happened before, from being a social network to a communications network in which it offers voice and data rates, integrating some of the characteristics of the social network in a mobile app that offers many services at no cost.

The sale or closure of Tuenti was seen to come at a time when its advertising tools did not work.

Although Tuenti claimed to have 20 million users at some point, it does not even compare to the exorbitant amount of 2.000 million that Facebook has.

And what is left of Tuenti?

Today what remains is a telecommunications tool that many users do not even pay attention, has lost popularity and impact, and despite the fact that the social network had many users, those that were active could be less than half, so it has not been a good investment for Telefónica.

Tuenti now lets you make calls over WiFi, completely free, even if you are outside of Spain, you will only spend the data consumed by the call according to the normal rate that you have contracted with your mobile company.

Everything seems to point out that those of Telefónica is in charge of repairing this boat and making it float again. It does not matter in what way, but the project is still standing, those of Tuenti do not give up to become extinct, facing one of the most difficult markets to access today, social networks, many have tried to face the giants of social communication and have perished, will Tuenti be one of these, or will it become a success story, with a great marketing campaign that can encourage users to re-subscribe and use it, even if it is directed to another segment of the population and for other purposes.

    I think that it is not stagnant, that another company wanted to take it for something else as it is now a telephone network, which seems horrible to me is that they do not let us download any photos, at least I did not find out, and I have lost 2000 photos that Now I don't have and they are nice memories, I just want to access my account for my photos or for you to send them to me

    It seems very bad to me that the Telefónica company will buy mobile Tuenti and not notify normal Tuenti users to be able to recover their photos and the content that they had. They did that very badly! And people like me, who I couldn't find out, couldn't save my memories, my photos of Tuenti.
