We feel that it’s better if your own profile appears exactly the same to you as it does to other users. Putting Saved in the profile might give the impression that everyone can see your saved posts, which isn’t the case.
In future, we also want to add post history, vote history and the uploaded images list. If all three were tabs in the profile, the tab picker would get super long and slow to navigate.
In the Search tab, there’s plenty of space to put all of those buttons without requiring the user to scroll through a picker. This is also where Apple puts the “Saved” list in some of their own apps (e.g. News), so putting it here makes it easier to find for users familiar with those apps.
I hope that makes sense. This is only on the TestFlight at the moment; we’re interested in what people think about this change so thanks for the feedback :)
Personally I prefer consistency across consumption mediums. On the instance I use saved posts are kept under profile when using a browser. Of course adding more than exists in there today(history) would make it fairly busy and planning for the future makes a great deal of sense as well.
Great point about the news app storing the saved stories under search. Though that search icon feels like a catch all for everything on ios26.
