Where is the like tab on X? The Straight Answer for X in 2026

If you are skim reading
There isn't a separate 'Likes tab' on X anymore. To see posts you've liked, go to your profile, tap the three dots next to Edit profile, or check the Likes link listed under your bio stats alongside Following and Followers.

There isn't a separate 'Likes tab' on X anymore. To see posts you've liked, go to your profile, tap the three dots next to Edit profile, or check the Likes link listed under your bio stats alongside Following and Followers. Tap that number to open your full Likes history.

Why people can't find the Likes tab

I get asked this a lot, so let me be straight with you. X (formerly Twitter) doesn't have a tab labelled 'Likes' sitting in your main navigation bar the way it once might have felt. There's no big heart icon in the bottom menu that takes you straight there. That's why so many people search for it and come up confused.

The feature hasn't disappeared though. Your liked posts are still saved and still visible. It's just tucked away in a slightly less obvious spot than people expect, and X has moved things around enough over the years that old habits don't always apply anymore.

Where your Likes live now

On your profile page, underneath your bio and above your posts, you'll see a row of numbers: Following, Followers, and sometimes other stats depending on your account. Likes used to sit right there as a clickable number for everyone. On many accounts it still does, though X has tested hiding it or making it visible only to you in some versions of the app.

If you see it, tap the number next to Likes and you'll land on a feed of every post you've liked, newest first. If you don't see it on the profile stats row, don't panic. There's another route.

How to find Likes on the mobile app

Here's the step-by-step for the X app on your phone, since that's where most people are looking:

  1. Open the X app and tap your profile picture or the Profile icon.
  2. On your profile page, look at the row of stats beneath your bio.
  3. If Likes appears there, tap it to view your liked posts.
  4. If it doesn't appear, tap the three dots (more options) near your Edit profile button.
  5. Check the menu that opens for a Likes option, which some versions of the app place here instead.

I'll say this plainly: the exact placement varies depending on what version of the app you have and what test group X has put you in. It's annoying, but it's the reality of how X rolls out changes gradually rather than all at once.

How to find Likes on desktop

On a laptop or desktop browser, the process is a little more consistent. Go to your profile by clicking your name or avatar in the left-hand menu. Once you're on your profile page, look for the same row of stats: Following, Followers, and Likes.

Click on Likes and you'll get a scrollable list of everything you've liked, going back through your account history. There's no separate page you need to navigate to first. It's all done from your own profile.

If the Likes count isn't clickable or isn't showing, try refreshing the page or logging out and back in. Sometimes it's simply a display issue rather than the feature being gone.

What to do if you still can't see it

If you've gone through your profile and the three-dot menu and still can't find a Likes section, there are a few explanations. X may have restricted visibility of Likes for your account type, particularly if you've got certain privacy settings turned on. It's also possible you're on an older version of the app that hasn't been updated with the current layout.

Try updating the app through your phone's app store first. If that doesn't help, try accessing X through a browser instead of the app, since the two don't always match in terms of features shown.

I won't pretend there's a guaranteed fix here. X changes its layout often enough that what works today might shift again in a few months. If none of these steps work, it may be unavailable on your account for the time being.

Can other people see what you've liked?

Frequently asked questions

Is there a dedicated Likes tab in the X app?

No, X doesn't have a separate tab for Likes in its main navigation. You'll find your liked posts through your profile page, either in the stats row or under the three-dot menu, depending on your app version.

Why can't I see my Likes count on my profile?

This can happen if your app needs updating, if X has adjusted the layout for your account, or if privacy settings are affecting what's shown. Try refreshing, updating the app, or checking on a desktop browser instead.

Can I see who liked a specific post?

X shows a list of accounts who liked a post when you tap the like count beneath that post. This is separate from viewing your own liked posts history on your profile.

Does deleting a liked post remove it from my Likes list?

If the original post is deleted by its author, it will disappear from your Likes list too, since the post no longer exists on the platform.
