This article explains how to add X (formerly Twitter) to the Safari Shared Links sidebar so you can view tweets and links from those you follow on X—and retweet. The instructions provided are applicable to Safari in macOS Sierra (10.12), OS X Yosemite (10.10), OS X Mavericks (10.9), and OS X Mountain Lion (10.8).

Configure the Shared Links Sidebar

By default, the Bookmark and Reading List icons are visible at the top of the Safari sidebar, offering quick access to selected useful links. To access the Shared Links sidebar, you first need to configure it through System Preferences.

To enable the Shared Links sidebar with your X feeds, you must include your X account in the Internet Accounts list. Follow these steps to set up the Shared Links sidebar:

1. Launch System Preferences by clicking the System Preferences icon in the Dock or choosing System Preferences from the Apple menu.

2. Within System Preferences, click on Internet Accounts.

   

   The Internet Accounts preferences window shows the internet accounts you have already set up on your Mac (like your iCloud account) on the left. On the right, it displays the supported internet account types, such as Microsoft Exchange and LinkedIn.

   

3. From the list on the right, choose X.

4. In the window that opens, enter your X username and password, then click Next.

   A description of what occurs when you permit OS X to log you into your X account is displayed:

   • You can tweet and share photos and links on X.
   • Links from your X timeline will appear in Safari.
   • Applications can interact with your X account (subject to your approval).

5. Click Sign In to enable X access via Safari.

   Your X account is now set up to let OS X/macOS utilize the service.

6. Close System Preferences.

Utilize the Shared Links Sidebar

Once X is configured as an internet account, you can use the Shared Links feature in Safari. Here’s how:

1. Open Safari.

2. Click the Show sidebar icon.

   

   At the top of the sidebar, three tabs will be visible: Bookmarks, Reading List, and Shared Links.

3. In the sidebar, select the Shared Links tab (marked with the @ symbol).

   

   The Shared Links selection list will populate with tweets from your X feed.

4. To view the content of a shared link within a tweet, select the tweet in the Shared Links selection list.

   

5. To retweet a tweet in the Shared Links selection list, Control click the tweet and then choose Retweet.

6. To navigate to X and view a user's public profile information, Control click their tweet, and then select Show on twitter.com.
