Current limitation

Right now, the only way to see your likes is to go to your profile → Likes tab and scroll endlessly. It works for recent posts but becomes painful or impossible for anything older than a few weeks or months. There’s no search, no date filters, no way to see “all likes from 2023,” and definitely no bulk actions. If you’ve liked thousands of posts over the years, cleaning them up or revisiting old favorites is frustrating and time-consuming. Third-party tools and archives exist but they are not handy for mass-unliking, downloading favs etc.

What the feature should do (Instagram-inspired + X improvements)

Add a dedicated, easy-to-reach section, ideally under Profile → Your Activity → Likes, or a new top-level “Likes” hub in the side menu on web or desktop.

Key capabilities:

Full historical view of every post you’ve ever liked, with infinite scroll, chronological order, and smart loading so it doesn’t stop after a certain point.

Filters and search: By date range, keywords in the post text, author or username, media type such as images or videos, etc.

Multi-select posts using checkboxes or long-press on mobile. “Select All” for the current filtered view or entire history with confirmation. Bulk unlike selected posts with a clear warning such as “This will unlike X posts irreversibly.”

One-tap option to download all images or videos from selected posts as a ZIP file or individually. Perfect for archiving favorite memes, art, photos, and more.
