A Number Of X Accounts Can See Tab Likes Due To Security Incidents

JAKARTA Platform X, formerly known as Twitter, launched a controversial update some time ago. Since May, the Likes tab has been private and cannot be seen by other users. This update gives rise to pros and cons. Many agree with this feature, but not a few also admit objections. By showing Likes tabs, users can share posts they like to other users. Worse, users don't have the ability to display Likes tabs even though they want to. Therefore, when Likes reappeared in June, some users looked happy and shared the news on their accounts. Instead of being greeted with a pleasant response, the majority of users were confused because they still couldn't see other users' Likes tabs. Apparently, the ability to view Likes tabs was an unexpected incident.

Reporting from 9to5mac, X told users affected via email that some Likes could still be seen because of the mistakes they made. Some users may still be able to see the feature. "Tim X received information that some likes may remain publicly available," X said in an email. "We have contacted you because your X account may potentially be affected by this security incident." To maintain the privacy of all users, X is trying to address this issue. Likes will remain private to protect the public image of its users. If your account can still see other users' Likes tabs, this capability won't last long.
