Twitter introduces new feature to privately save tweets

February 28, 2018

Have you ever wanted to “Like” a tweet, but not forget about it in a sea of “Likes”? Or privately save a story, meme or photo for future reference?

Twitter is introducing a new “Bookmarks” feature, which will let you save content for later reference—and keep it totally private.

As Twitter explains, the “Bookmark” feature will be at the bottom of every tweet, on the right-hand side of the “Retweet” and “Like” buttons. See how it works below:

Found something historic?
Don’t want to forget a joke?
Article that you want to read later?

You'll be able to add or remove the bookmarked content at any time, and you're the only one who can view it, similar to the Instagram “Bookmark” feature.

Though it's not a massive shift, it'll definitely make it easier to reference your favorite content.
