Finding your likes on X is easy. Working through thousands of them is not, because the Likes tab gives you no search, no sort, and no way to act on more than one post at a time.
This guide covers both routes: the native tab for a quick look, and a step-by-step Circleboom flow for a full cleanup you can actually finish.
A quick note before the steps: to see your own likes, open your profile on X and tap the Likes tab, where every post you have liked loads newest-first. To read that history as a sortable list and clear old likes in bulk, Circleboom fetches your full like record on X through official, policy-compliant API access.

How to See My Likes on X (Twitter), Step by Step
The full walkthrough runs in three short phases: connect your account, load and filter the history, then review and unlike. Each phase is a few clicks, and the whole flow stays inside X's rules.
Connect Your Account and Open the Likes Tools
- Log in to Circleboom Twitter and connect your X account with official OAuth.
- Open the Essential Toolbox menu and select the Delete Likes tools, where your like history is fetched and displayed.
Load and Filter Your Like History
- Choose your range: pick the recent path to load your most recent 3,200 likes through the API, or the archive path to read your full history from your X data file.
- Apply filters to narrow the list by date range, keyword, username, hashtag, engagement, or media type, so only the likes you want to remove are selected.
Review and Unlike in One Pass
- Preview the selection and confirm the count so you know exactly how many likes are about to be removed.
- Remove the likes in one confirmed pass, and repeat with a different filter later if you want to clear another slice.
That order holds up for a reason. The login earns official access first, loading pulls your real record instead of a guess, filtering keeps the cleanup precise, and the preview stops a bulk action from running past what you intended.
Quick recap of the flow:
- Log in and connect your X account.
- Open the Delete Likes tools in Essential Toolbox.
- Load the recent window or the full archive.
- Filter, preview, then unlike in one pass.
You can begin here whenever you are ready: manage my X likes.

Where the Likes Tab Lives (the Native Way)
If all you want is a quick look, you do not need any tool. Your likes sit on your own profile in a dedicated tab.
On the web, click your handle in the left sidebar, then open the Likes tab next to Posts, Replies, and Media. On mobile, tap your avatar, open your profile, and swipe to Likes. The official X guide to liking and viewing your likes walks through the same path.
There is a catch worth knowing before you start. Since mid-2024, X made likes private by default, so only you can see your Likes tab now. Visitors to your profile cannot browse it, and there is no setting to make it public again.
That privacy is useful, but the tab is still a plain feed. It loads newest-first, has no search, and offers no bulk controls. For a quick glance it is fine.
For anything past a few dozen likes, you will want the sortable list the steps above produce. There you can clear your X likes in bulk instead of one tap at a time. Plenty of people hit exactly this wall when they try to delete posts they have liked on Twitter one by one.
Recent Likes or Your Full Archive: Which to Load
The step where you choose a range matters more than it looks, so it is worth a closer read. Circleboom gives you two doors into your like history, and they suit different jobs.
The recent path reads your last 3,200 likes straight through the API. It needs no upload and loads in moments, which makes it the right pick for cleaning up the visible, recent window. Most accidental or off-brand likes live here, near the top.
The archive path reads your X data file, which X generates on request. It extends coverage all the way back to your first like, past the 3,200 the API exposes. This is the door you use for a complete reset, or when the likes you want gone are years old.
Because both paths run through approved access, your account stays safe either way. Circleboom is listed on X's Enterprise customer directory, so every read and unlike happens inside the platform's own rules, with no scraping and no password-sharing. That is the difference between this flow and the free scripts that quietly break X's terms.
Once your history is loaded, you can do more than clear it. The same view lets you see your most liked tweets and read your engagement patterns instead of working from memory.
That readable list is also why people reach for a tool to bulk delete Twitter likes instead of tapping through the native tab. The list does the sorting the tab never could, and it does it in seconds.
Which Filters to Use, and When
The filter step is where a vague goal becomes an exact action. The right filter depends on why you came, so match the tool to the reason.
For accidental likes, sort by date and look at the most recent stretch. Stray taps from one-handed scrolling cluster near the top, and clearing the last few days often solves the whole problem. It also helps to know whether a quick unlike still notifies the person.
For a topic or account you want to disassociate from, use the keyword, username, or hashtag filter. It pulls every like tied to that term into one view, so you are not hunting for them across years of history.
For a public-profile reset before a job search or role change, load the archive and work by date range, clearing whole periods that no longer represent you. The engagement and media filters help you keep high-value likes, like partner posts or your own most-liked content, while everything else goes.
The point is that you rarely need to wipe everything. A filter turns "clear my likes" into "clear these specific likes," which is both safer and faster. You keep what still fits and remove only what does not.
Before You Clear, Save What You Use
Unliking is permanent. Once a like is removed, it does not come back on its own, so a little caution before a big cleanup pays off.
Many people treat the Likes tab as a bookmark folder, saving threads, research, and references they mean to revisit. If that is you, review the list before you clear it, and keep a copy of anything you rely on.
A quick export handles this. Saving your likes to a file before the cleanup gives you a searchable record you can keep on your own machine, so nothing important vanishes with the batch. Think of it as the undo button unliking does not have, since removal itself is permanent and does not reverse on its own.
The Circleboom view helps here too, because reading a sortable list is far easier than scrolling a feed. You can spot the handful of likes worth keeping, exclude them from the batch, and remove the rest. This is the safe way people handle it when they want to delete all their liked tweets without losing the few that mattered.
If your cleanup is part of a wider profile review, the same account runs a full Twitter account analysis as well. It shows how your engagement lines up with your goals, and the likes review and the account review answer two halves of one question.

Why Reviewing Your Likes Is Worth the Few Minutes
It is tempting to skip a likes review, since nobody else can see the tab anymore. But private is not the same as gone, and the record still works on you in ways that are easy to miss.
Two things keep it relevant. First, the author of any post still sees your like on it, so the signal you sent has not disappeared, it has only become harder for you to audit. Second, likes are engagement, and the platform reads them to decide what to show you next. A stale like history quietly shapes a feed that no longer matches your interests.
There is also the version-of-you problem. A like history is an unfiltered record, built from reflexive taps rather than deliberate posts. Left alone for years, it drifts out of step with who is running the account today.
Spending a few minutes to see and prune that record fixes all three at once. You control the signal to authors, you clean the input the algorithm reads, and you make the public trail match the account you actually run now. The tab shows you the record; the step-by-step flow lets you do something about it.
Your Cleanup Checklist
Seeing and managing your likes on X takes one clear pass. Here is the short version to act on:
- Open your profile Likes tab for a quick look, remembering it is now private to you.
- Log in to Circleboom and open the Delete Likes tools when you want to act at scale.
- Load the recent window for fast cleanup, or the archive for a full reset.
- Back up anything you use as a bookmark, then filter and unlike in one confirmed pass.
Do those in order and a job that used to mean an afternoon of scrolling becomes a few minutes of clicks. The first pass is the only heavy one. After that, a quick scan of your recent likes every so often keeps the record clean with almost no effort.
None of it puts your account at risk, because every step runs through official access rather than a workaround. You get the speed of a bulk tool with the safety of doing it by hand, which is the whole reason this flow beats both the native tab and the free scripts that ask for your password.
Frequently Asked Questions About Clearing Likes
How do I see my likes on X if the tab looks empty to visitors?
The tab is not empty, it is private. Since mid-2024 your Likes tab is hidden from other users, but you still see it in full. Open your own profile and tap Likes to browse everything you have liked.
Do I need the Circleboom Chrome extension to unlike posts?
No. Unliking runs through the official X API, so no browser extension is required. You log in, load your likes, and remove them straight from the dashboard.
How many likes can I remove at once?
Through the API you can load and clear your most recent 3,200 likes. To reach older likes, load your X archive so the full history back to your first like appears in one view, then filter and remove in batches.
Is it safe to clear my likes in bulk?
Yes, when the tool uses official access. Circleboom paces its requests inside X's rate limits and confirms your selection before anything is removed, so a large batch never runs away from you and your account stays compliant. The only permanent part is the unlike itself, which is why a quick review before you confirm is always worth the extra minute.
