The upgrades came after Musk tweeted the announcement of a change in the User Interface of the platform's 'Bookmarks' feature in December 2022.
Musk had hinted that the upcoming changes would make it "Easy to create folders to bookmark tweets into various categories".
The Tesla CEO replied to a user asking for a 'bookmark organizer' positively, hinting at it being part of the new feature.
Before that, the SpaceX owner earlier announced "Significant backend server architecture changes" on the platform.
The update followed an outage of the microblogging platform in the wee hours of December 29.
According to a report by Al Jazeera, the web version of the platform suffered a major outage. It was difficult for many users who were greeted with an error message when they tried signing in.
More than 8,700 users reported problems with the site as of 7:30 am EST (12:30 pm GMT), Al Jazeera reported citing Downdetector, which tracks website outages. (ANI)
