Open your profile on X (formerly Twitter), tap your profile picture or handle, then look for the Likes tab (sometimes hidden under a menu icon). Tap it to see posts you've liked. On mobile and desktop the steps are nearly identical, though X has made likes private by default for some accounts, so you may only see your own.
Why you'd want to find your likes
I get asked this a lot. People want to find a post they liked weeks ago but can't remember who posted it. Or they want to check what they've been engaging with and clean it up a bit.
Whatever the reason, the Likes tab still exists on X. It's just not always obvious where to find it, and X has changed how visible it is to other people over the past couple of years.
I'll walk you through finding it on the app and on desktop, plus what to do if it's not showing up the way you expect.
Finding your likes on the X app
This is the method most people will use since most of us check X on our phones.
- Open the X app and tap your profile picture in the top left corner
- Tap your profile to go to your own page
- Look along the row of tabs under your bio (Posts, Replies, Highlights, Articles, Media)
- If you don't see Likes there, tap the small icon or arrow that reveals more tabs
- Tap Likes to see everything you've liked, newest first
If the Likes tab isn't appearing at all, it may be that X has restricted it on your account type or you're using an older version of the app. Try updating the app first.
Finding your likes on desktop
The desktop version works in a similar way but the layout is slightly different.
Go to x.com and log in. Click your profile name or picture on the left hand menu to open your profile page. Across the top you'll see tabs including Posts, Replies, and Media.
Click the icon that looks like three dots or an arrow next to those tabs, this usually reveals Likes as an option. Click it and your liked posts will load in order, most recent first.
If you can't see the option on desktop, try refreshing the page or logging out and back in. Browser extensions sometimes interfere with how X displays these tabs, so it's worth checking with extensions disabled if you're stuck.
Why you might only see some of your likes
X doesn't always show every single like you've ever made. If you liked a post and the original poster deleted it, deactivated their account, or made their account private, that post will disappear from your Likes tab too.
This is normal and there's nothing you can do to recover it. Once a post is gone, any likes attached to it go with it.
If you're scrolling back through months or years of likes, expect the list to thin out the further back you go, simply because posts get deleted over time.
Can you see someone else's likes
This is where things have changed. X used to let anyone view another user's Likes tab by visiting their profile. That's no longer guaranteed.

Many accounts now keep their likes private by default, meaning only they can see what they've liked. You might visit someone's profile, click their Likes tab, and find it empty or simply not there.
I'd say plainly: if someone has set their likes to private, there's no way around that. You can't force your way into seeing their liked posts. Respect the setting and move on.
If an account hasn't changed this setting, you may still be able to see their likes the same way you check your own, by visiting their profile and clicking the Likes tab if it's visible.
Checking your settings around likes
If you want to control who sees your own likes, head to your account settings.
Go to Settings and privacy, then Privacy and safety. Look for options related to your posts and interactions. X has adjusted these settings over time, so what you see may differ depending on when you last checked.

Frequently asked questions
Why can't I find the Likes tab on my profile
It might be hidden behind an extra menu icon next to your other profile tabs. Tap or click that icon to reveal Likes. If it's still missing, try updating your app or refreshing the page.
Can I see another person's likes on X
Only if they haven't made their likes private. Many accounts now hide this by default, and if that's the case, there's no way to view their liked posts.
Why have some of my old likes disappeared
If the original post was deleted, or the account that posted it was deactivated or made private, that post and your like on it will no longer appear in your Likes tab.
Is there a way to make my own likes private
Check Settings and privacy, then Privacy and safety, for options about who sees your activity. Available controls can change, so look there directly rather than assuming a fixed setting exists.
