How to Block Likes on Twitter (Without Losing Your Mind)
Let’s be honest—Twitter (sorry, “X”) has turned into a place where Likes are both a soft whisper and a potential PR crisis. You click ❤️ on one hot take about pineapple on pizza, and suddenly your feed is all culinary warfare and Gordon Ramsay memes.
So you ask: Can I block likes on Twitter?
Well… kinda. Not completely. But there are workarounds, and if you’re tired of seeing other people’s questionable taste—or hiding your own—this guide is for you.
Who Can See Your Twitter Likes?
Short answer: fewer people than before—but still more than you think.
As of mid-2024, Likes are private… sort of. While the Likes tab is hidden from public view, the author of a tweet can still see that you liked it. So if you thought you could like your ex’s new photo in total stealth mode—think again.
Want to know why Twitter hid likes in the first place? This article breaks it down.
How to Hide Twitter Likes (Your Own)
1. Make Your Account Private
This is the nuclear option. Lock your account, and only approved followers can see what you like, tweet, or reply to. Downside? You’re basically turning Twitter into a group chat with a velvet rope.
2. Unlike Old Tweets One by One
Sure, if you have all day and a strong wrist. Bonus points if you treat it like a digital juice cleanse.
How to Hide Other People’s Likes From Your Feed
Tired of seeing “liked by someone you barely know” tweets in your timeline? Here’s how to make them disappear (mostly):
1. Switch to “Latest Tweets”
Tap the ✨ icon on your home timeline → choose “Latest Tweets”.
No more algorithm guesswork—just real-time posts from people you actually follow.
2. Mute Like-Related Phrases
Go to Settings → Privacy & Safety → Muted Words, and add:
- “liked”
- “because you follow”
- “recommended”
- “suggested”
⚠️ It’s not perfect, but it cuts the noise significantly.
3. Use Browser Extensions (Desktop Only)
Install tools like Tweak New Twitter or Control Panel for Twitter to hide likes, retweets, trends—you name it.
And if you're looking to go beyond just hiding Likes—and actually manage, search, or organize your own—ArchivlyX has you covered .
What ArchivlyX Actually Does (and Why It’s a Game Changer)
So what makes ArchivlyX different from just bookmarking tweets or trusting Twitter to organize your Likes?
In short: it turns your Likes into a private, searchable, auto-organized archive that lives entirely on your device.
Here’s what you get:
Real-Time Like Indexing
ArchivlyX quietly saves your Likes in real time—no API keys, no limits, and no server involved. Every tweet you like is encrypted and stored locally in your browser, so even if a post gets deleted later, you’ve got the receipt.
Lightning-Fast Search
Need to find that great quote or strategy thread you liked weeks ago? Hit
⌘ + Shift + K (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + K (Windows), enter a keyword, hashtag, or handle, and boom—it’s there.
AI Smart Folders
ArchivlyX organizes your Likes automatically into folders like:
- Product Design
- Startup Ideas
- Marketing Threads
- Memes, Politics, Personal Inspiration...
You don’t need to tag a thing—it just works.
But here’s the best part: you’re still the boss.
If the AI puts something in a folder you disagree with—or if you just want to rename “Product Strategy” to “Stuff I Steal from Smart People”—go for it.
Folder names are fully editable, and your archive reorganizes instantly based on your rules.
Think of it like a digital assistant that listens: it does the sorting, but you call the shots.
Bulk Delete & Cleanup
Want to clear out Likes from a specific account or topic? ArchivlyX lets you filter and bulk delete Likes in seconds—all without leaving your browser.
One-Click Export
Export your Likes as CSV, JSON, or Markdown for use in Notion, Airtable, Obsidian, or your favorite workflow tool.
