X might roll out a Seen tab to help revisit your watched tweets and clips

X is finally working on a solution for that frustrating moment when you refresh your feed and lose a video forever. According to a post from X’s product head Nikita Bier, a new Seen tab is likely on the way to help you revisit posts and clips you’ve already watched.

The potentially upcoming feature was teased when X user levelsio requested a history feature on iOS. Nikita replied with a screenshot showing a dedicated Seen tab sitting right next to the For You and Following feeds.

I’ve personally lost count of how many times a seemingly interesting post vanished into the digital void, so this feels like a massive win for usability.

The leaked UI looks incredibly clean, featuring the Seen label in the top navigation bar. It appears to function as a chronological history of your interactions, ensuring you can find that specific tweet or video without relying on the often-finicky search bar. This would be a major upgrade for a platform that has historically made it difficult to re-discover content once it scrolls past your eyes.​

Interestingly, Nikita actually leaked two features at once. Observant users noticed a new floating bubble in the screenshot showing profile pictures of friends who have replied to a specific post. While the Seen tab is still in testing, some users like Brock Pierson claim they’ve already spotted this new reply indicator in their feeds over the last week.​

Another X employee, Dan, confirmed he’s been using these “secret features” internally to avoid frustration. It’s a welcome change of pace, especially since we’ve recently seen some features disappear, like when X removed the ability to share posts directly to Instagram Stories on Android.

We’re also seeing more creative uses of the X API lately. Developer Mike Rosinsky recently launched X Ratios, a “weekend project” app that highlights the most controversial conversations and “dunks” happening on the platform. It’s a fun reminder of how powerful the platform’s data can be when put into the right hands.​

If this rollout follows the usual pattern, we expect the Seen tab to start showing up gradually for some users before a wider release. But who knows, maybe X could flip the switch for everyone at the same time. We’ll be keeping a close eye on our own apps to see when that new tab finally sticks.
