X, formerly known as Twitter, plans to make "likes" private to encourage engagement and protect users' public image. However, this change may confuse users and eliminate useful discovery features. Critics suggest reverting to the original star icon or making private likes optional to address the issue without causing unnecessary disruption.
X, formerly known as Twitter, will soon make 'Likes' private, preventing users from viewing others' liked posts. This change aims to protect user privacy and reduce backlash for liking explicit or bold content. The feature, previously available to premium subscribers, will be rolled out to all users, though the exact timeline is not yet specified.
X, formerly Twitter, is now allowing paid users to hide their likes on the platform. This feature comes after rival social networks Threads and Bluesky introduced the ability for users to see their own likes. Paid users on X can now customize their profile settings to hide the likes tab, making it visible only to themselves. This adds another incentive to the paid tier, allowing users to like posts without others being able to view them. However, hiding the likes tab may indicate that a user has paid for the subscription.
