Please can you make it easy to remove bookmarks

Why can't we double click on a bookmark to turn it off? It's really annoying. I've accidentally pressed on a couple of marks.

Hi Ginmel,

Thanks so much for your feedback - we're sorry to hear you find it annoying.

Is there anyone else that would like this? If so, we can take it upwards to see what they think.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 12/09/2019 20:04

Me! I would like it please!

mintbiscuit · 12/09/2019 20:05

And me! I have fat fingers and keep clicking on them by accident!

Freaking0ut · 12/09/2019 20:05

Me 🙋🏻‍♀️

ClemDanFango · 12/09/2019 20:05

Yes please

ifigoup · 12/09/2019 20:05

Yes! I’ve accidentally done about 50 bookmarks and don’t know how to undo them!

WhoAreThey · 12/09/2019 20:07

Yes please

LaMarschallin · 12/09/2019 20:08

Me too, please

SunshineCake · 12/09/2019 20:08

Why would you want to remove them? Saves so much time when the thread is added too and you can just go straight to where you left off.

Me too please I hit them by accident all the time.

RLOU30 · 12/09/2019 20:12

Me! I double clicked yday thinking it would already be an option..

EarringsandLipstick · 12/09/2019 20:13

Another one who can't understand why you want to remove them? Keep reading & click the bookmark to mark your place when you finish? Why bother removing them? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bapman · 12/09/2019 20:13

Me too! I always click by accident and I’d like to be able to unclick

Ohyesiam · 12/09/2019 20:14

Why is it a problem? What happens when you bookmark?

MrsElf · 12/09/2019 20:14

And me. So many silly extra bookmarks when I’m on the phone!

Namenic · 12/09/2019 20:15

Me too - find it annoying

MildThing · 12/09/2019 20:16

I’ve been thinking this, I have accidentally bookmarked loads, and never deliberately bookmarked anything.

What does it actually do?

DramaAlpaca · 12/09/2019 20:17

Yes, I'd like this option.

I'm nearly sure you could remove bookmarks before the recent tweaking.

The accidental bookmarking thing annoys me so much I've turned it off altogether.

sorenipples · 12/09/2019 20:17

I also keep bookmarking by accident as does my toddler.

Squigglypig2 · 12/09/2019 20:18

I'd like it removed too, I have never book marked any post deliberately.

Somebodyswatson · 12/09/2019 20:19

Never actually bookmarked anything on purpose, always an accident and can't turn them off lol
