Twitter now shows bookmark count for tweets on iOS

Twitter on Friday announced that iOS users will now see how many users have bookmarked their tweets, along with the already existing likes, comments, retweets, quote tweets and views.

The company tweeted from its 'Twitter Support' account: "We love Bookmarks for saving Tweets to revisit later. Starting today on iOS, you'll now see the total number of times a Tweet has been bookmarked on Tweet details."

"Don't worry, though — your Bookmarks are still private. We'll never display which accounts have added a Tweet to their Bookmarks," it added.

So, unlike the other metrics, you will not find out who has bookmarked your tweet but only the total number of users who have.

On the new feature's help page, Twitter mentioned that while the feature is only limited to iOS users, it has “plans to expand”.

Everyone on the platform can see bookmark counts on tweets, whether they are the author or the reader.

In January this year, Twitter CEO Elon Musk promised a feature that will allow users to easily bookmark tweets.

The new feature displays the bookmark option under the expanded tweet view which makes it easier for users to add a post to their bookmarks.

Meanwhile, last month, the micro-blogging platform removed captions from its social audio rooms 'Spaces' on iOS.
