Twitter is set to introduce a bookmark tool that would allow users to save a tweet privately and swiftly go back to it later.
As reported by The Verge, news of the "save for later" option came after a tweet on Monday by Keith Coleman, Twitter’s head of product.

Coleman said a saving option has been a top request, especially from Japan, as referenced by a flag in his tweet. He further asked for feedback from users as the team is currently designing the option, whose expected launch date is yet to be announced.
