X to Make Likes Private for All Users, Including iOS App
May 22, 2024, 01:53 AM
X, formerly known as Twitter, has announced that it will make 'Likes' private for all users. This change aims to address concerns that public likes incentivize undesirable behavior and discourage users from liking content that might be considered controversial or 'edgy' due to fear of retaliation or damage to their public image. The likes tab on user profiles will be hidden, ensuring that no one can see the posts users have liked. This move, which will also affect the iOS app, is seen as a significant step towards enhancing user privacy on the platform.
