X (Twitter) bookmarks: find, search, and keep your saves
Can't find your X bookmarks? Where they moved on iPhone, why saves vanish, what search and folders can do, and the real answer on the limit.
The Bookmarks item in your X menu is gone, or the post you saved last month isn't in your list. The first is a rename on iPhone. The second usually means the post itself is gone.
Where are my bookmarks on X?
- On the web: go to x.com/i/bookmarks, or click Bookmarks in the left sidebar. If it isn't there, look under More.
- iPhone, updated app: tap your profile picture, then History, then the Bookmarks tab.
- Android and older iPhone versions: tap your profile picture (or swipe right), then Bookmarks.
That History item is why so many people think their bookmarks vanished. In May 2026, X renamed the Bookmarks entry in the iOS side menu to History. The new page has four tabs: Bookmarks, Likes, Videos, and Articles. You fill the first two yourself, and the last two fill up from what you watch and read. X says the page is private to you.
It launched on iOS only, and X gave no date for Android. Reports from June and September 2026 still showed Bookmarks on Android and the web, so the label you see may differ by app version.
How to bookmark a post
Tap the bookmark icon (the ribbon) under a post, or tap the share icon and choose the bookmark option. To undo it, open the same share menu and remove the post from Bookmarks. Labels shift a little between the web and each app.
Why your X bookmarks disappeared or aren't showing
Work through these in order:
- The whole Bookmarks item is gone on iPhone. It's the rename above. Look for History.
- One post is missing. The original was probably deleted, the account was suspended, or the posts went protected. A bookmark points at the live post, so it can't show what X no longer serves, and X doesn't offer a way to restore it.
- The list is empty on one device. That can be a loading problem rather than lost saves. Check x.com/i/bookmarks in a browser before you assume the worst, then try signing out and back in.
- Everything is really gone. X's help center describes a remove-all option in the more menu at the top of your Bookmarks, so check whether anyone with access to your account used it.
Is there a limit on X bookmarks?
X doesn't publish one. Its Premium help page says Premium gives you "an unlimited number of bookmarks and Bookmark folders," and the help pages we could read state no number for free accounts either.
Other guides quote 780, 800, 1,000, or 2,500. We found no X help page behind any of those as a limit on saving. The one figure with an official origin is 800: when X launched its bookmarks API in 2022, it said the endpoint returns up to your 800 most recent bookmarks. That limits what developer tools can read back through the API. It doesn't delete anything past number 800.
Tools that page through X's web app instead of the API report going much further: Tweetsmash, for one, says it has handled libraries of more than 150,000. Those are vendor claims, and X hasn't confirmed a ceiling either way. We cover what this means for getting them out in the guide to exporting X bookmarks.
How to search your X bookmarks, and why search isn't working
There's a search bar at the top of your Bookmarks page. Type a word or phrase and it filters your saved posts. If it seems broken, it's usually one of these:
- You're on Android. Guides as recent as 2026 report that the bar exists only on the web and iOS. X doesn't document this, so check your app version, but if you don't see it, try the web.
- You don't remember the exact words. Guides describe it as a keyword filter, and X doesn't say how it matches, so a search for the gist of a post may not surface one that never used those words.
- The thing you remember is in an image or video. Search reads the text, not what is inside the media.
For more on what each app's search can and can't do, see how to search your saved posts.
Bookmark folders: free vs Premium
Free accounts get one undivided list. Folders are a paid feature, and X lists them in every Premium tier, including Basic.
With Premium, per X's help center:
- Long-press a post's bookmark icon, choose Add to Folder, and pick or create a folder.
- Or open Bookmarks and tap the New Folder icon.
- Every bookmark also stays in All Bookmarks, and removing a post from a folder doesn't delete the bookmark.
If folders aren't enough, we compared the best X bookmark managers on search, copies, export, and price.
Can anyone see your bookmarks?
No. Your list is private and nobody can see who bookmarked a post, but a post can show a total bookmark count, which X's page has described as iOS-only. Here's how that compares on other apps. Likes work differently, since the author can see who liked a post: see X bookmarks vs likes.
Getting your bookmarks out of X
X has no export button, so you'll need another tool: see how to export your X bookmarks. Your X data archive covers your own account, not your saves. A bookmark also holds one post, not a conversation, so to keep a long one you'll want to unroll the thread. For a few favorites, save the tweets to Notion or Obsidian as Markdown.
How to keep a copy that survives deletion
Since a bookmark can't outlive its post, the fix is a copy made when you save. Stashr is a browser extension and web app that makes one: bookmark a post on X in a desktop browser and it stores the text, author, and photos in a private library. It can also import the backlog you already have. Videos keep their poster frame and play from X. Stashr doesn't run on phones, so bookmarks you make in the X app come in the next time you run an import.
| Feature | X bookmarks | Stashr |
|---|---|---|
| Save with X's own bookmark button | Yes | Yes |
| Search by keyword | Web and iOS | Yes |
| Search by meaning (plain English) | No | Yes |
| Search inside images | No | Pro plan |
| Organize | Folders, on Premium | Tags and saved filters |
| Text and photos survive the post being deleted | No | Yes |
| Saves from other apps in one place | No | Yes |
| Cost | Included with X | Paid, after a 14-day trial |
One more thing, for the people whose bookmarks pile up because they save every post that performs: studying what works is the other half of that habit. A tool like ClimbX surfaces proven topics and angles from your niche on X and drafts posts in your own voice, while your library keeps the receipts.
Common questions
Can I search my bookmarks on Android?
Reportedly not yet. Recent guides say the search bar is on the web and iOS only, so on Android you can scroll or open X in a browser. X doesn't document this, so check your own app.
Do bookmark folders cost money?
Yes. Folders need a paid X Premium plan, and the entry Basic tier includes them. Free accounts get a single list.
How do I delete all my X bookmarks at once?
X's help center describes a more menu at the top of your Bookmarks timeline with an option to remove them all. There's no undo that we could find, so export what you want to keep first.
Keep the X bookmarks you'd hate to lose.
Stashr copies the text and photos of each post you bookmark on desktop, imports your backlog, and finds any of it in plain English. 14-day trial, no card required.
