Twitter is finally rolling out a ‘save for later’ feature called Bookmarks

Finally!

Twitter is rolling out a new feature that lets users save tweets in a private section of the app so they’re easy to find later on. The new feature, called Bookmarks, should let users easily save articles they want to read or videos they want to watch but might not have time for in the moment.

It has been a popular feature request for years — and not just from those of us at Recode. Twitter first announced last fall that it was building Bookmarks, and now it’s finally arriving to users.

People have used workarounds to save tweets for a long time, including hearting/”Liking” tweets to make them easier to find later, or sending them to themselves via email or direct message. Both options were inefficient.

In the scheme of things, Bookmarks is a small change. It’s not the kind of feature that’s going to have a notable impact on Twitter’s user growth or revenue. It’s not going to help with Twitter’s abuse problems. It’s just a simple way to make Twitter better.

Bookmarks will begin rolling out to users on Wednesday and should be available to everyone in the next day or so, according to a company spokesperson.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
