**To find saved posts on Instagram, go to your profile, tap the menu (three lines), then tap Saved; All posts shows everything you’ve saved, and your collections appear as folders beside it.** Saved reels are in the same place, alongside saved posts. Only you can see what you’ve saved, and creators only see a save count, not who saved. This is one of the data tasks that start from [downloading your Instagram data](/blog/instagram-data/download-your-data/).

Saving is the most reliable way to find a post again, more so than liking it. This guide covers finding saved items, organising them into collections, and why some disappear. Posts you liked are covered in [how to find posts you liked and comments you made on Instagram](/blog/instagram-data/liked-posts/). Posts you hid from your own profile rather than saved are in [archived posts and old stories on Instagram](/blog/instagram-data/archived-posts/).

## Where Are Saved Posts on Instagram?

**Your saved posts are in the Saved section, opened from the menu on your profile.** Listed below are the 4 steps.

1.  **Tap** your profile picture at the bottom right.
2.  **Tap** the menu (three lines) at the top right.
3.  **Tap** **Saved**.
4.  **Open** **All posts**, or a collection.

On a computer, open your profile on instagram.com and select the **Saved** tab.

## How Do You Save a Post or Reel?

**Tap the bookmark icon under a post or on a reel; it goes to All posts, and pressing and holding the icon lets you choose a collection.** Saved audio and other items can appear in their own sections within Saved.

## How Do You Organise Saved Posts Into Collections?

**Collections are folders for saved posts; create one from Saved, name it, and add posts to it.** Listed below are the 3 ways to manage them.

| Task | How |
| --- | --- |
| Create a collection | In Saved, tap the plus button, name it, and pick posts |
| Add a post to a collection | Press and hold the bookmark on a post and choose a collection |
| Remove a post | Open it from Saved and tap the bookmark again |

## Can Anyone See Your Saved Posts?

**No, your saved posts are private to you.** On your own professional account, Insights shows how many times each post was saved, but never who saved it; see [how to see Instagram Insights](/blog/instagram-analytics/see-instagram-insights/).

## Why Did a Saved Post Disappear?

**A saved post disappears when its creator deletes it, archives it, makes their account private, or blocks you.** You can’t restore it from Saved. If a post matters, screenshot it or keep the important details elsewhere, because a saved post is a link to someone else’s content, not a copy.

## How Do You Export Your Saved Posts?

**Your data download includes a record of your saved items.** It lists posts that still exist when you request the export; the steps are in [how to download your Instagram data](/blog/instagram-data/download-your-data/).

## Questions people ask

Instagram doesn't publish a limit for saved posts.

Collections are private by default; check your app for collaborative collection options where available.
