To find your Likes on X (formerly Twitter), open your profile, tap the three-dot menu or go to your profile page, then select the Likes tab. On mobile, it sits near Posts and Replies. There is no way to see other people's full Likes list unless they allow it, as X limits this by default.
What this guide covers
I get asked this a lot, so let's sort it. "How to get to likes on X" usually means one of two things: finding posts you have liked, or trying to see what someone else has liked. I will walk through both, plus what you can do if your Likes tab seems to be missing.
X (formerly Twitter) has changed how Likes work a few times over the years. Some of the old tricks people used to see other users' Likes no longer work, so I will say plainly when something cannot be done rather than send you chasing a dead end.
Finding your own Likes on desktop
If you are on a laptop or desktop browser, this is quick. You do not need any special settings or apps.
- Log into X and click your profile picture or your name in the left-hand menu.
- This takes you to your profile page, where you will see tabs such as Posts, Replies, Highlights, and Media.
- Look for the Likes tab. On some accounts it is labelled, on others it is a heart icon.
- Click it and you will see a reverse chronological list of everything you have liked.
If you cannot see a Likes tab at all, it might be hidden by your own privacy settings, which I cover further down.
Finding your Likes on the mobile app
The mobile app works in a similar way, though the layout is slightly different depending on whether you use iOS or Android.
- Open the X app and tap your profile icon, usually bottom right or in the top-left menu.
- On your profile page, swipe or scroll through the tabs until you find Likes.
- Tap it to see your full history of liked posts.
If the app has been updated recently, tab positions can shift. If you cannot find it straight away, check the main menu as well, since some versions of the app list Likes there too.
Why your Likes tab might not show
There are a few reasons your own Likes list might appear empty or missing entirely, and it is worth ruling these out one by one.
First, check you are logged into the correct account. This sounds obvious, but if you manage several X accounts for business or clients, it is an easy mistake.
Second, X has tested hiding the Likes tab for some users in the past as part of product trials. If this applies to you, there is no setting to force it back, since it depends on what X rolls out to your account.
Third, a poor connection or an outdated app version can cause tabs to load incorrectly. Refreshing the page or updating the app usually fixes this.
Can you see someone else's Likes on X?
This is the part people ask about most, and I want to be direct about it. By default, you cannot see a full list of what another user has liked unless they have chosen to make that visible, and X does not currently offer a built-in public setting for everyone to opt into this.
In the past, Twitter allowed anyone to view another user's Likes tab publicly. That changed, and X has not reinstated full public visibility as standard. So if someone tells you there is a simple link or trick to see a stranger's full Likes history, treat that with caution, since it is not how the platform currently works.
What you can still see, in many cases, is when someone likes one of your own posts, because that shows up in your notifications.
Checking who liked a specific post
Even though you cannot browse someone's full Likes list, you can often see who has liked an individual post, which is a different feature.

I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
- Find the post you are interested in, either your own or someone else's public post.
- Look underneath the post for the engagement numbers, including likes, reposts, and replies.
- Tap or click the Likes count.
- This opens a list of accounts that liked that specific post, assuming the post is public and the author has not restricted this view.
This is useful if you are tracking engagement on your own content, or checking who is interacting with a competitor's or client's posts for research.
Managing and clearing your Likes
If your Likes list has become cluttered over the years, you can unlike posts individually, though there is no single button to clear everything at once.
To unlike a post, find it in your Likes tab, tap the heart icon again, and it will remove it from the list. This has to be done one post at a time, so if you have years of likes to tidy up, set aside right time for it.
Some people use their Likes tab as a sort of personal bookmark system. If that is you, it is worth knowing X also has a separate Bookmarks feature, which keeps saved posts private and separate from your Likes, so others cannot see them even if your Likes are visible.
A quick word on privacy settings
If you run a business account, it is worth thinking about whether you want your Likes to reflect your personal opinions publicly, since colleagues, clients, or competitors could, in some cases, see which posts you have engaged with.
There is no dedicated single toggle that hides only your Likes tab from everyone while keeping the rest of your profile public, so your options are limited to using Bookmarks instead for anything sensitive, or simply being mindful of what you like.
If privacy matters to you, check your account's overall privacy and safety settings regularly, since X does update these from time to time.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get to my Likes on X?
Go to your profile, either on the app or desktop, and look for the Likes tab alongside Posts and Replies. Tap or click it to see everything you have liked, listed in reverse chronological order.
Can I see someone else's full Likes list on X?
No, not by default. X does not currently offer a way to view another user's complete Likes history unless they have made it visible themselves, which is not a standard public setting.
Why is my Likes tab missing on X?
It could be a display issue, an outdated app, or a feature trial affecting your account. There is no setting you can change to force the tab back if X has altered it on their end.
How do I see who liked a specific post?
Open the post and tap the likes count underneath it. This shows a list of accounts that liked that particular post, provided the post is public.
