How to Bookmark on Twitter in 3 Steps

Scrolling back to a specific tweet can be challenging if you don’t have a screenshot or username because new content keeps streaming every second. Bookmarks enable you to get back to a tweet without retweeting or liking it. It’s a way of saving information that you deem inaccurate, controversial, or valuable. 

You might think that the “Like” button on Twitter is the simplest way to bookmark interesting tweets if you’re unfamiliar with the platform. However, as you’ll discover shortly, there are better options than liking a tweet. 

Twitter’s bookmark, introduced in 2018, is a cool feature that allows you to save your favorite tweet without anyone else knowing. This article will show you how to bookmark tweets on different devices. 

How to Bookmark a Tweet on a PC

The process of bookmarking a tweet is straightforward. Here are the steps;

Step 1: Log in to Twitter

Launch your preferred browser and search for Twitter, then log in.

Step 2: Tap the Share Icon

When you see a tweet that interests you, locate the share icon in the bottom right corner of the tweet and tap it to reveal more options.

Step 3: Select Bookmark

Select bookmark on the menu that comes up after clicking “share,” 

That’s it. The tweet will be saved for future reference. You can also bookmark your tweet.

How to Bookmark a Tweet on Android Devices

Bookmarking a Tweet on Android is a bit different from the browser. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Launch the Twitter App

Locate the Twitter app on your device and tap it.

Step 2: Select a Tweet

A pop-up will appear on your screen, confirming that your tweet has been bookmarked.

How to Remove a Bookmark

To delete all your bookmarks at once, tap the dots in the top right corner of your Bookmark’s timeline and click “Clear all Bookmarks.”

Unable to Bookmark a Tweet?

The bookmarking feature often works smoothly, but it might have issues if your twitter app has problems. Below are possible reasons why you might be unable to bookmark a tweet:

Unstable Internet Connection

When your internet connection is sketchy, you might think you have bookmarked your tweet when you haven’t. When you eventually make a connection, the tweet won’t appear on the “Bookmark” tab.

Outdated Apps

Some older versions of Twitter may present such problems. Try checking on Google Play Store for updates and new versions. Also, ensure that your operating system is updated, which can cause some apps to malfunction.

Cache Build-up

Over time, a cache can accumulate and cause some functionalities to stop working. Try emptying the browser cache if you’re having these problems with a browser. If you’re experiencing a problem with the app, clear the app’s cache memory.

Temporary Bugs

Sometimes, an app can act funny. In such an instance, restart your device or uninstall and reinstall it. 

Conclusion

There you have it, no more “liking” an odd tweet with a link to an article to return to it later when you have some spare time, only to have the same weird tweet remain in your “likes” tab indefinitely. Get to bookmarking and tidy up that “likes” section while you’re at it.
