Which Twitter feature was designed to let users organize posts into private bookmarks?

The story behind the answer

Twitter’s feature for privately organizing saved posts is called Bookmarks.

Bookmarks let users save posts for later without publicly liking or retweeting them. Twitter introduced the feature in 2018, giving people a private way to keep recipes, articles, threads, references, and other posts they wanted to revisit.

The feature addressed a limitation of the Like button: likes could be visible to others and were not designed primarily as a personal filing system. Bookmarks created a separate private collection accessible from the user’s account menu.

Bookmarks are different from Lists, which organize posts from selected accounts into a timeline, and different from browser bookmarks, which save web pages locally or through a browser account. On X, the saved item is the post itself, subject to the post remaining available.
