X is finally giving users a dedicated place to store and revisit saved content. The platform is rolling out a new History tab on iOS, which consolidates Bookmarks, long videos, Articles, and Likes into a single location.
One place for everything you’ve saved
Until now, these content types were scattered across different parts of the app, making it easy to lose track of things you meant to come back to. Bookmarks lived under a separate tab, Likes were buried in your profile, and there was no single place to find long videos or articles you’ve started but not finished. The History tab pulls them all together so you can pick up where you left off without hunting through your feed or profile.
X head of product Nikita Bier announced the feature in a recent post, noting that the fast-moving timeline makes it difficult to catch up on long-form content. The History tab is designed to fix that by giving longer videos and articles a more permanent home, but it’s currently limited to iOS. X has yet to reveal when it will expand to the Android app.
The bigger picture
The History tab is part of X’s broader ambition to become an everything app. The platform has been expanding its Articles feature and pushing longer and higher resolution video uploads as it competes with YouTube and other video-first platforms for creator attention. Giving users an easier way to find and return to that content is a practical step toward making formats more viable on the platform.
The only downside to the History tab is that it doesn’t discriminate. The long-form article you bookmarked with good intentions lives there. So does every unhinged post you liked at midnight. Consider yourself warned.
