Twitter launches Bookmarks to save and share tweets

Twitter has finally launched 'Bookmarks,' a feature that has been in testing since late last year, following the company’s HackWeek project dubbed #SaveForLater.

Bookmarks is a way of saving tweets that one likes and might want to revisit. Before, this could be done by liking a tweet, but now you can save them without tapping the heart and directly engaging with a tweet.

"We Tweeted ongoing updates as we built Bookmarks so we could incorporate your input as we worked. By working this way, we learned that you like to save replies so you can answer later and that you may share a Tweet hours or days later after you've bookmarked it. Thank you for being part of this process — your feedback was valuable in building this update, and it made it all the more fun for us as we built a new feature for you. As a result, we all have an easier way to save, share, and stay informed," Twitter said in a statement.

To bookmark something, you tap or click the new share icon beneath a tweet. (The new icon is where the DM icon was previously.) When you want to view your saved tweets, you’ll tap your Profile icon to reveal the menu where the Bookmarks list will be found alongside other options like Twitter Lists and Moments. Alongside the official debut of Bookmarks, Twitter is using this update to move several sharing options to one place. You can share a tweet via direct message, share it elsewhere outside of Twitter, or bookmark it.

Bookmarks are rolling out today across Twitter for Android and iOS, Twitter Lite, and the mobile Twitter website.
