No, you cannot see someone else's liked tweets on X (formerly Twitter) in 2026. X removed public access to the Likes tab years ago, and that hasn't changed. There's no setting, workaround, or third party tool that reliably shows another person's likes. The only likes you can see are your own.
Why people keep searching for this
I still get asked how to see someone's liked tweets at least once a month. It used to be simple. X (formerly Twitter) had a public Likes tab on every profile, and you could scroll through it to see what someone had liked.
That feature is gone. People searching for it now are usually running into old advice, old screenshots, or blog posts that never got updated.
What changed
X removed the public Likes tab from other users' profiles. This happened gradually, and by the time X rebranded from Twitter, the change was already in place for most accounts.
You can still see your own likes, because that tab stays visible to you when you're logged into your own account. But the setting that let anyone view another person's likes was switched off platform wide, not per account.
This wasn't a bug. It was a deliberate privacy change, and X has kept it that way since.
Can you see other people's likes on X in 2026?
No. I want to be plain about this because there's a lot of noise online claiming otherwise. You cannot view another person's liked tweets through the app, the website, or any official setting.
If you go to someone's profile and look for a Likes tab, you won't find one unless it's your own account. There is no toggle, no permission request, no premium feature that brings this back.
What about third party tools and apps?
Plenty of sites and apps claim they can show you someone's likes. I'd avoid these.
Most of them either don't work, scrape outdated data, or ask for your X login details, which is a security risk. Handing over your credentials to a third party site is how accounts get compromised.
Some tools pull from cached or archived versions of X pages, which might show old likes from before the feature was removed, but nothing current. That's not a reliable method, and I wouldn't build a habit around it.
Does X Premium change anything here
No. Paying for X Premium gives you things like an edit button, longer posts, and different reply prioritisation. It does not unlock another person's Likes tab.
I know this gets asked because premium features have expanded over time, so people assume privacy settings might have loosened too. They haven't, at least not for this.
What you can still do instead
If you're trying to understand what someone engages with on X, likes aren't your only option. Here's what still works:
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
- Check their retweets and quote posts, which are visible on their profile timeline.
- Look at who they reply to and what conversations they join.
- Check any public lists they've created or follow, which can show interests.
- Look at their following list, since that often reflects what they care about more than likes ever did.
None of this replaces seeing actual likes, but it gives you a fuller picture of someone's activity without needing a feature that no longer exists.
What to do if you see a site claiming it works
If you come across a website or browser extension promising to reveal someone's liked tweets, treat it with caution.
Ask yourself how it could possibly access data that X itself doesn't expose publicly. In most cases, it can't, and the tool is either non functional or collecting something else in the background, like your email or login details.
I'd rather tell you plainly that this doesn't work than point you toward something that puts your account at risk.
The short version
You cannot see someone else's liked tweets on X in 2026. That feature was removed, and there's no legitimate way around it.
If you're researching someone's interests or activity, use what's public, retweets, replies, and posts, rather than chasing a workaround that doesn't exist.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see my own liked tweets on X?
Yes. Your own Likes tab is still visible when you're logged into your account. The restriction only applies to viewing other people's likes, not your own.
Is there a setting someone can turn on to share their likes?
No. There is no setting or permission that makes another person's likes visible to you. The Likes tab for other profiles was removed platform wide, not controlled per user.
Do third party apps that claim to show liked tweets work?
Most don't. Many ask for your login details, which is risky, or pull outdated cached data. I wouldn't trust them, and I wouldn't hand over your credentials to find out.
Does X Premium let you see someone else's likes?
No. X Premium adds features like editing posts and longer replies, but it does not restore access to another person's Likes tab. That data stays private regardless of subscription.
