Twitter Bookmarks Not Working? Here’s Why and How to Fix It!

The other day, I came across a tweet so insightful that I knew I had to save it. But when I tried to bookmark it, nothing happened. Instead of losing that valuable post, I decided to dig into the issue and find out what was causing the problem.

If you’ve had similar experiences, don’t worry—there are easy fixes and steps to get your bookmarks working again.

Let’s explore what might be causing this glitch and how to bookmark tweets without a hitch.

Why Twitter Bookmarks Might Not Be Working

If your bookmarks aren’t working, it’s likely due to one of these common reasons:

📱 Outdated Twitter App

• If you’re using an older version of the app, some features, including bookmarks, may not function properly. Developers often fix bugs in new updates, so an outdated app could be the culprit.

🗂︎ Cache Issues

• Over time, your device stores temporary files (cache) to make the app load faster. However, these files can get corrupted, causing features like bookmarks to glitch.

🛜 Network Problems

• A slow or unstable internet connection might prevent actions like bookmarking from being processed.

📍 Account-Specific Bugs

• Sometimes, bugs related to your account can affect certain features. This issue is usually temporary but can be frustrating when it happens.

📶 Twitter Server Issues

• Although rare, server outages or maintenance on Twitter’s end can disrupt features like bookmarks. Checking Twitter’s status page might clarify if this is the case.

Quick Fixes for Bookmarking Issues

Before diving into how to bookmark tweets, let’s ensure the feature works smoothly. Try these quick fixes:

✅ Update Your Twitter App
Head to your app store (Google Play or App Store) and check if a new version is available. Update to the latest version for optimal performance.

✅ Clear Cache and Data

• On Android: Go to Settings → Apps → Twitter → Storage → Clear Cache (or Clear Data if necessary).
• On iOS: Uninstall and reinstall the app to reset cached data.

✅ Switch to a Stable Internet Connection
Ensure you’re connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network or have strong mobile data coverage.

✅ Log Out and Log Back In
Sometimes, a quick log-out and log-in can refresh your account and resolve minor bugs.

✅ Use Twitter Web
If the app still doesn’t work, try bookmarking tweets using Twitter’s desktop site as a temporary workaround.

✅ Check Twitter’s Status
Visit Twitter’s status page or follow @TwitterSupport to see if there are ongoing server issues.
