With the update, the Bookmarks button in X s left-side menu of the mobile app has been renamed History. The new page separates your saved content into four tabs bookmarks, likes, videos, and articles making it easy to dive back in at any time. While bookmarks and likes are intentional saves, the videos and articles tabs will be populated based on what you watch or read on X. The History section remains private to you, Bier s announcement notes.
