Likes on X (Twitter) are private. Since June 2024 the Likes tab on a profile shows its list only to the account owner, so other people cannot browse what you liked. Your own likes stay visible to you, and the author of a post can see who liked it from the post's activity or notifications.
If you landed here asking "can people see my likes on Twitter", the short answer is no. If you wonder why your own list looks empty, or how to check who liked your post, there are separate answers, and they depend on small details of your app. Below is what the change meant, where to look, and how to fix a missing tab.
Are likes on Twitter private?
Yes. X announced in June 2024 that likes were becoming private for everyone. Before that, hiding likes was an option for paying subscribers. Afterwards it became the default for all accounts, and news coverage at the time said users could not switch it back. Menu names and features may have changed since, so confirm in your own app.
What this means in practice:
- Another person who opens your profile cannot scroll through the posts you liked.
- You see your own Likes tab on your own profile.
- The like count under a post remains public.
Can people see my likes on Twitter?
The list, no. A like can still leave a trace in a few places:
| Where | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Your Likes tab | Only you |
| The number under a post | Everyone |
| A notification to the author | The author of the post you liked |
| The post's activity or engagement list | The author, from their own post |
So the author of a post you like can find out that you liked it. The change only ended the public browsing of your whole list.
How to see your own likes on X
- Open your profile from the menu.
- Look for the row of tabs under your bio: Posts, Replies, Media and Likes.
- Tap Likes to see the posts you have liked, newest first.
On a computer the tab sits in the same row of the profile page. You can also use the search in your own timeline in some versions. If you cannot find the tab, read the next sections.
Why can't I see my likes on Twitter?
Reports and guides name several reasons.
- The tab is only on your own profile. If you are looking at someone else's profile, there is nothing to see.
- The app is out of date. Update the app and restart it.
- The layout differs between the app and the website. Try the other one.
- A rollout glitch. Some users saw the tab appear late or disappear after a change.
- You are logged into another account. Check which one is active.
No official fix exists for every case, so try these steps in order: update, restart, switch between app and browser, sign out and in. If the Likes tab is still missing, the support page of X is the right place to report it.
How to see who liked your tweet
You can view who liked your own post.
- Open the post.
- Tap the activity or analytics icon under it.
- Look for the likes section or the list of accounts.
Notifications also show a like as it comes in. The numbers are for the author, so you will not see the same detail on other people's posts.
Can you hide likes on Twitter?
There is nothing to hide now, because the whole list is private by default. If you saw older advice about turning on a "hide likes" setting, it applies to the period before the change. What you can control is your own behavior: a like on a post still notifies its author, and the count under the post is visible to all. If you do not want the author to know, do not like the post.
What X does not show anyone
- The list of everything you liked, except to you.
- Which of your followers has viewed your profile.
- Who opened a post without interacting.
- A history of likes you removed.
Services that promise to reveal other people's likes cannot get data that X hides. They often ask you to log in, and giving them your password is the real risk. Our guide on removing followers on X covers a related privacy question.
Checklist: managing what others learn about you on X
- [ ] Remember that the author of a post sees your like.
- [ ] Use bookmarks if you want to save a post without a public sign.
- [ ] Check your Likes tab from your own profile, not someone else's.
- [ ] Update the app when a tab goes missing.
- [ ] Never enter your password in a "likes viewer".
Do likes matter for growth on X?
They are one of several signals people use to judge whether a post is worth a look, along with replies and reposts. A like does not make anyone follow you. Posting useful things regularly does. For a plan on that side, read about buying followers on X and think about the risks, or see how to spot fake followers in any audience.
How it works at LikeMan
New posts can look quiet in the first minutes. LikeMan X likes are ordered with the link to a public post, with no password involved. The total is shown before you pay, the order starts by itself once payment is confirmed, and a decline over the following year is replaced. A like is a small public signal and does not decide who sees your post.
More X options are gathered under X services.
