How to open your saved posts on Instagram, step by step
Instagram updates its layout often, so labels and icon positions can differ on your device. Look for Saved on your profile or in the menu if a step below does not match.
On desktop (instagram.com)
- Log in at instagram.com.
- Open your profile from the sidebar or the profile photo.
- Look for Saved on your profile, or in the More menu. Open it to see your saved posts and collections.
- Faster: type your username in the field above and use the button.
On iPhone and iPad (Instagram app)
- Open the Instagram app and tap your profile photo at the bottom right.
- Tap the menu icon (three lines) near the top right of your profile, then look for Saved.
- On some versions there is also a bookmark icon on the profile itself. Tap it to open the same page.
On Android (Instagram app)
- Open the Instagram app and tap your profile photo at the bottom right.
- Tap the menu icon (three lines) near the top right, then look for Saved.
- If you do not see it, check for a bookmark icon on your profile, or open the direct link in your phone browser while logged in.
How it works
This finder does not log in to Instagram, scrape anything or call any API. It joins your username into Instagram's own saved page address, right here in your browser, and your browser opens it with your existing Instagram session. If the username belongs to a different account than the one you are logged in to, Instagram will not show you that account's saves, since saved posts are private.
Tips for Instagram saves and collections
- Use collections. When you tap the bookmark icon, Instagram lets you file the post into a collection, for example recipes, travel or work ideas. Pick one right then. Sorting later is much harder.
- Start a collection for the next batch. A named collection per project or topic keeps a long saved list from turning into one pile.
- Bookmark your direct link. Generate it above, then save it in your browser's bookmarks bar.
- Check for the right account. If your saves look empty, you may be logged in to a different account than the username you typed.
Keep your Instagram saves in one searchable library
Finding the saved page is the easy part. Searching it is harder. AgentMash is a Chrome extension that syncs your saves from Instagram and the other platforms you use into one searchable library, so you can look across all of them in one place.
- Sync on your terms. Install the extension, stay logged in to Instagram in the same browser, and click Sync. It uses your own logged-in session, so you never enter your Instagram password in AgentMash.
- Desktop browsers. The extension works in Chrome-family browsers on desktop, such as Chrome, Arc, Brave and Edge.
- Free to start. The Free plan includes up to 300 saves. Pro unlocks more.
- Collections come along. Your Instagram collections are kept as collections in AgentMash.

Frequently asked questions
Where are my saved posts on Instagram?
Open your profile in the app or on instagram.com and look for Saved, in the profile menu or as a bookmark icon. Labels can change between versions. The direct link is https://www.instagram.com/username/saved/ with your own username.
What is the direct link to my Instagram saved posts?
It is https://www.instagram.com/ followed by your username and /saved/. Type your username in the field on this page and it builds the link for you.
Does this tool see my Instagram account?
No. The link is built in your browser from the username you type. Nothing is sent to AgentMash, and there is no login, scraping or API call.
Why does the link show no saved posts?
Saved posts are private. The link only works when you are logged in to the matching Instagram account in the same browser.
How do I organize Instagram saves into collections?
When you save a post with the bookmark icon, Instagram lets you add it to a collection. You can create a new collection from the same screen.
Can I search all my Instagram saves at once?
With AgentMash, your Instagram saves sync into one searchable library. The Free plan includes up to 300 saves, and Pro unlocks more.
