Understanding Instagram’s Saved Posts Feature
Before we dive into the steps to see your saved posts on Instagram, let’s first understand what this feature is all about. When you come across a post on Instagram that you want to save for later.
You can tap the bookmark icon located under the post, and it will be saved to your “Saved” folder. This feature is useful for saving posts that you find inspiring or helpful or simply want to revisit later.
Accessing Your Saved Posts on Instagram

Once you’re on your profile page, tap on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner of the screen to open the menu options. From the menu, select “Saved” to view all your saved posts.
Step 3: Sort Your Saved Posts
By default, Instagram sorts your saved posts by “Recent,” which means that the most recent posts you’ve saved will appear at the top of the list. However, you can also sort your saved posts by “All,” “Instagram,” “Collections,” and “Tags.”

- Collections: This option displays posts that you’ve organized into collections.
- Tags: This option displays posts you’ve saved that are tagged with specific keywords.
To sort your saved posts, tap on the “Sort” option located at the top right corner of the screen and select your preferred sorting option.

Step 5: Create Collections for Your Saved Posts
If you have a lot of saved posts, it can be helpful to organize them into collections. To create a collection, tap on the “+” icon located at the top right corner of the “Saved” screen.
Give your collection a name and add the saved posts you want to include. You can create as many collections as you like, and each post can be added to multiple collections.
