It seems that more than a third of the people in the world have never used the internet. They might be happier because of it. Anyway, here’s how to use Twitter app Bookmarks for those of us who are chained to our screens by the clawing monster of corporate capitalism.
The Bookmarks feature, which was added to Twitter in 2018, lets users save tweets that they might want to look at again later. Your list of bookmarked tweets isn’t visible to anyone else, unlike your Likes or Retweets. This means you can save whatever you want without destroying your public image.
