Bluesky's new 'Likes' tab makes revisiting favorite posts easy
What's the story
Bluesky, an X rival, has rolled out a series of updates for its mobile apps and website, enhancing user experience and engagement.
The new features include a new "Likes" tab, notification support for apps, and an emoji picker for the web composer.
Threads, the Bluesky and X rival from Meta, also introduced a tab for likes called "Your Likes" recently.
Details
'Likes' tab would give users insight into what others like
Bluesky has added a "Likes" tab to users' profiles, allowing them to view their own liked posts.
The tab enables users to revisit content they find interesting or entertaining, improving their overall experience on Bluesky.
For content creators, this feature provides valuable insights into audience preferences, helping them tailor their posts to better resonate with followers.
However, unlike X, Bluesky doesn't allow users to see liked posts of others. Other apps can add this functionality to the free API, though.
