After much promise, Twitter is finally rolling out a feature that lets you mark tweets as favorites for later viewing, ending what has been a lengthy process.

In early January, Elon Musk announced that this feature would come via a button, and now the social network has made it available to users of iOS devices, so it is expected to reach Android and the desktop version in the short term.

Within the trill options, an icon will now appear to add this content as a favorite, a process very similar to what other platforms such as Instagram or TikTok do.

Clicking on it will not flag it, but will bring up a panel to check all other saved tweets.

Before this feature, the save process was long. Users had to click on the share button to open the window and then select the option to save the content.

The first focused on the content suggested by the algorithm, so it does not have a chronological order and part of the user’s interaction with the platform, such as their likes, read tweets and searches. The second section shows everything in order of publication and only reports that follow.
