Are Twitter Bookmarks Private or Public?
Twitter Bookmarks on X are private by default. Only you can see the tweets you've bookmarked, ensuring your saved content remains personal and confidential. However, X does display the number of bookmarks a tweet has received on its public interface, providing a general idea of its popularity without revealing individual users' bookmarks.
Do not confuse likes with Twitter Bookmarks. X is making a change to make likes on posts private by default for all users. Previously, likes on Twitter were public information that anyone could see, but with this upcoming change, likes will be hidden from public view.
Changes in Twitter Bookmarks on X
While the core functionality of Twitter Bookmarks remains the same on X, there have been a few notable changes:
Folders for Bookmarks: X has introduced the ability to create folders for your bookmarked tweets, allowing for better organization and categorization. This feature is currently available only for X Blue subscribers.
Increased Character Limit: With X's increased character limit of 4,000 characters per tweet, bookmarking longer tweets and threads has become more convenient.
Integration: Twitter Bookmarks in X are better integrated with other features, such as lists and collections, allowing for more organized and categorized saving.
