Unlocking the Saving Power: Mastering Bookmarks on Threads

Social media has become an essential part of our lives, and with it comes the need to save content for later enjoyment. If you’re a Threads app user who wants to manage your favorite posts more effectively, this guide will take you through the process of bookmarking posts on Threads, explaining the differences between bookmarks and likes, and answering some of the most common questions.

Essentials to Understand Before Bookmarking

  • Threads lets you bookmark and save posts by tapping on the three-dot icon and selecting ‘Save’.
  • All your saved posts are found within Settings > Saved.
  • Posts that you bookmark are saved privately, which is different from liking a post since your likes are visible to others as well.

Social media users are no strangers to bookmarking posts that they like or want to revisit later. Be it a favorite meme or a news post that one doesn’t have time to read at the moment, bookmarking and saving posts is a feature available on just about every social media platform in one way or another. However, it wasn’t until recently that Threads brought this much-needed feature to the mix. Here’s how you can start bookmarking and saving posts on Threads.

Step-by-Step: Bookmarking Posts on Threads

Open Threads and tap on the three-dot icon next to the post that you want to save. Then tap on Save.

And just like that, your post will be bookmarked and saved. Threads does require an additional step to save posts which makes it a little less convenient for users who are used to platforms like X (Twitter) and Instagram, which have the option to bookmark posts directly from their main feed.

Viewing Your Saved Posts on Threads

There are a couple of ways to access your saved posts on Threads.

Method 1: Accessing Through Settings

  1. To view all your bookmarked posts, tap on the profile icon in the bottom right corner. Then select ‘Settings’ (two horizontal lines) at the top right corner.
  2. Select Saved and view your bookmarked posts.

Method 2: Immediate View After Saving

Threads also lets you view your saved posts at the moment you save them. Once you tap on the bookmark icon, you’ll receive a pop-up notification at the bottom.

Tap on See all to jump directly to the ‘Saved’ posts section in Settings.

Comparing Likes and Bookmarks on Threads

Given that Threads has a separate ‘Your Likes’ section in Settings as well as a ‘Bookmarks’ section, one may wonder about the difference between the two. It’s not uncommon for social media platforms to release features that are somewhat similar yet distinct.

The key difference lies in privacy. When you like a Threads post, it is visible to others. In contrast, when you bookmark or save a post, that information is private, available only to you. So, if you wish to save a post without letting others see it, ensure to bookmark it.

Summary

This guide walks you through the process of bookmarking and saving posts on the Threads app, outlining key differences between bookmarks and likes, as well as providing answers to common questions about the feature.

Conclusion

By following the outlined steps, you can efficiently manage your posts on Threads, ensuring your favorite content is always just a bookmark away. Embrace the privacy of bookmarks and transform your Threads experience!
