X introduced History tab combining likes, videos, bookmarks and articles into one destination.
Users can revisit previously watched long-form videos directly through dedicated History section tabs.
Feature currently appears for iPhone users as rollout expands gradually across regions worldwide.
Social media users often lose track of videos, articles, and posts they wanted to revisit later. X has now introduced a new feature designed to solve that problem. The platform’s new History tab brings together watched videos, liked posts, saved articles, and bookmarks into a single, organized section.
The feature has started rolling out to iPhone users and replaces the older Bookmarks option inside the app menu. X says the update aims to help users quickly return to content they previously interacted with, especially as the platform deepens its focus on long-form video and creator-focused content.
Here is a complete guide on how the new History tab works and how users can access it.
The History tab acts as a central archive of user activity inside the X app. Instead of manually searching through timelines, profiles, or notifications, users can now revisit previously viewed or saved content from a dedicated section.
The feature currently includes four categories:
Bookmarks
Likes
Videos
Articles
Each section stores a different type of activity linked to the user’s account. The History tab remains private and is only visible to the account holder.
The rollout appears limited for now, with most reports confirming availability on iOS devices first.
Users can access the feature directly from the app's side navigation menu.
Follow these steps:
Open the X app on your iPhone
Tap the profile icon in the top-left corner
Open the side menu
Select the new History option
Choose from Likes, Videos, Articles, or Bookmarks
For users who already had the Bookmarks section enabled, the History tab now appears in its place.
Some accounts may not see the feature immediately since the rollout remains gradual.
One of the biggest additions inside the History tab is video tracking.
The Videos section stores previously watched long-form videos, making it easier for users to resume content they left midway through or revisit clips they shared earlier.
To check watched videos:
Open the History tab
Tap Videos
Scroll through previously watched content
Tap any video to resume watching
Current reports suggest that X mainly tracks longer videos in this section, rather than short clips that appear briefly in feeds.
The move aligns with X’s broader push toward video content following the platform's expansion of support for longer uploads and creator monetization features.
The Likes section inside History gives users a faster way to revisit tweets and posts they reacted to earlier.
To view liked content:
Tap Likes
Browse through liked posts
The feature becomes especially useful for users who use likes as a temporary save tool for news updates, memes, threads, or creator content.
X previously made likes private by default, meaning other users can no longer see a person’s liked posts publicly. The new History tab keeps that data accessible only to the account owner.
The Articles section is responsible for storing any news articles, blogs, or newsletters accessed via X. People who often access such information through the platform can easily retrieve it without having to search again.
The Bookmarks feature will still be available, but it is now grouped under the umbrella History menu.
This means that users have a centralized place to access all stored content as opposed to having it distributed across multiple sections.
The recent development is a product of X’s evolution from being a text-based posting app to an app that allows video, long form, and subscription publications.
As such, the History menu is believed to promote repeat engagement by allowing users to resume abandoned videos, retrieve saved articles, and view bookmarked conversations.
The History tab resembles the watch history features common to apps like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

The History tab currently appears to be rolling out gradually to iOS users worldwide. Android availability has not been confirmed officially yet.
Users who do not see the feature immediately may need to:
Update the X app
Wait for server-side rollout access
Restart the app after updates
As the rollout expands, the History tab could become one of the platform’s most practical navigation features for heavy users who regularly consume videos, threads, and articles on X.

X’s new History tab simplifies one of the platform’s biggest usability problems: finding previously viewed content. Instead of digging through timelines, profiles, or notifications, users now get a central space for watched videos, liked posts, articles, and bookmarks.
The feature may seem small, but it reflects X’s larger shift toward video consumption and long-form engagement. For regular users, creators, and news readers, the update offers a faster way to continue unfinished content and revisit important posts without relying on search or memory.
