X Now Allows Paid Users To Hide Their Likes Tab From The Public – News18

X (previously Twitter) has launched a brand new characteristic that can permit Premium subscribers to cover their ‘likes’ tab from public view.

On enabling the “Hide likes tab”, the tab will disappear completely from an X Premium user’s profile. “Keep spicy likes private by hiding your likes tab. Available to Premium subscribers,” X said on Thursday.

Musk also shared about the new update on X, but he recommended users to keep the likes tab open and advised to use ‘bookmarks’ for interesting posts.

“You can now hide your likes, but I recommend keeping them open and just using bookmarks for interesting posts,” he said. Moreover, a number of users shared their thoughts on this development.

“Thanks, Elon! Now i can like whatever and not worry about everyone checking,” a user wrote.

“What were people even doing at the company before you arrived? X has launched more features in a few months than Twitter did for years,” another user said.

One more user mentioned: “I’d recommend the opposite. Perhaps people will start liking posts more often when they know their likes, and in a way their interests, can’t be used against them.”
