Twitter to add 'bookmarks' feature allowing users to save tweets for later

The feature will help users keep a separate list of items they want to refer back to, instead of using the heart (aka "favourite") button

Twitter is testing a new feature named "Bookmarks" that will help its 330 million monthly active users privately flag tweets for viewing at ease when they have time.

In October, the micro-blogging platform announced that it is developing a bookmarking feature to save tweets.

Keith Coleman, Head of Product, had tweeted that the new feature #SaveForLater was in the works.

Tina Koyama, a staff product designer at the company, tweeted on Thursday:

News from the #SaveForLater team! We’ve decided to call our feature Bookmarks because that's a commonly used term for saving content and it fits nicely alongside the names of the other features in the navigation. pic.twitter.com/cQ0X1PHlsR
