X Launches History Tab on iOS App

X launched a new History tab on its iOS app Monday, consolidating users' bookmarks, likes, watched videos and read articles into a single, private section to simplify revisiting content.

The update replaces the Bookmarks button in the app's left-side menu with a History page divided into four tabs: Bookmarks, Likes, Videos and Articles. Bookmarks and likes reflect intentional user actions, while the Videos and Articles tabs automatically populate based on content users have viewed or read. The feature remains accessible only to the individual account holder, addressing the challenge of X's fast-moving timeline where posts quickly scroll out of view.

Nikita Bier, X's head of product, announced the rollout in a post, stating, "Today we're rolling out a new History tab on iOS to help you keep track of all your favourite content on X. Bookmarks, Long Videos, Articles and Likes will live here so you can always come back and continue watching or reading. The Timeline moves fast, so we hope this creates a better place for catching up on longform content."

Previously, these tools were scattered: bookmarks appeared in the main menu, while likes were tucked into a user's profile page....
