X has introduced a new “History” tab on its iOS app that combines bookmarks, liked posts, watched videos, and articles in one unified section. The update is designed to help users easily find and revisit content they previously interacted with, without needing to scroll back through their timeline or search for it again.

This change transforms the earlier Bookmarks feature, which only stored manually saved posts, into a broader activity hub that automatically organizes different types of user interactions. It brings X closer to platforms like Instagram, which already offer separate sections for saved content, liked posts, and viewing history for videos.

X’s head of product, Nikita Bier, announced the rollout in a post, explaining that the new History tab is intended to help users keep track of their favorite content. He noted that bookmarks, long videos, articles, and likes will now be stored in a single place, making it easier to revisit long-form content that might otherwise get lost in the fast-moving timeline.

Under the update, the Bookmarks option in the side menu has been renamed “History.” Inside it, users will find four sections: Bookmarks, Likes, Videos, and Articles. While Bookmarks and Likes contain user-saved or liked posts, the Videos and Articles sections are automatically populated based on what users watch or read while browsing. Only videos longer than 10 minutes are included in the Videos section, and the Likes tab includes a note confirming that likes remain private.

When users open the updated section, they also see a message explaining that bookmarks have been moved to History. The Bookmarks area includes a search option for finding saved articles. Meanwhile, the Likes tab reinforces that only the user can view their liked content. The aim of this feature is to make it easier for users to keep track of long-form content, which is often lost as timelines update rapidly. By centralizing everything, X hopes to reduce the difficulty of returning to videos or articles that users want to finish later.

Previously, bookmarks were accessible from the side menu and liked posts were stored within user profiles, making them harder to locate. The new structure consolidates these into a single space for better accessibility and organization. This update may also encourage greater engagement with long-form content on X, including articles that go beyond the platform’s usual character limit. By improving access to saved and watched content, the platform aims to keep users engaged within the app for longer periods instead of directing them to external sources.
