X (formerly Twitter) has introduced a new History tab that brings together users’ bookmarks, liked posts, watched videos, and read articles in one easy-to-access place.
The feature officially rolled out on May 13, 2026, starting with the iOS app. It replaces the previous standalone Bookmarks tab, which has now been renamed “History” in the app’s side menu.
The new History tab is divided into four sections:
- Bookmarks – Posts users have saved
- Likes – All posts a user has liked
- Videos – Long videos watched on the platform
- Articles – Long-form articles and posts users have read
X says the update is designed to help users easily return to content they enjoyed or saved earlier without having to scroll endlessly or lose track of interesting posts, videos, and articles.
Many users, especially those who consume a lot of content on X, have welcomed the change. It turns the platform into more of a “save-it-for-later” space, making it easier to revisit important or entertaining material.
The feature is currently available on iOS, with an Android rollout expected soon. For now, the tab serves as a private hub, meaning only the user can see their own History.
This move is part of X’s continued effort to improve user experience and increase time spent on the platform, especially for long-form content and videos. It also addresses a common complaint that saved or liked content often gets buried and becomes hard to find later.
Early reactions from users in Nigeria and across Africa show excitement, as many rely heavily on X for news, entertainment, sports updates, and educational content. The new tab could make it simpler to keep track of useful threads, videos, and articles.
X has not yet given more details on additional features planned for the History tab, but users can already start using it to better manage their content.
