How to save someone's post?
Whenever you see a post that you want to save, simply tap on the bookmark icon in the bottom right corner of the post. You can save that post specifically to a collection. If not created already, you can create one right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you get notified when someone saved your Instagram post?
No. Instagram doesn't notify you when someone saves your Instagram post. However, if you direct message someone (especially a self-destruct photo) and if they take a screenshot of that one-time photo, you will be notified.
Why can't I see who saved my Instagram post?
Instagram restricts the rights to not show the details to users. Doesn't matter what's your account type, you can't see who saved your post. The only logical way to know is to put that post in your Instagram story and ask your followers about it.
You can incentivize this (you can ask for a screenshot image from their saved post list) for genuine results. If you're trying to view photos of inactive Instagram accounts, you won't find that in your list.
How many collections can I have on Instagram?
There's no limit as to how many collections you can create on Instagram. Be broad & specific enough to not confuse yourself when you come back to the saved Instagram post.
How to see who saved other people's posts?
You can't do that either unless you have their personal details to log in to their account. When people save an Instagram post, it can't be known by anyone. Even if you have a business profile, you can't know who saved your Instagram post.
We're not sure if there are any third-party applications to help you with this as well. Even if there are, we don't recommend such tools. This is something the platform keeps to itself.
Where can I find previously liked photos?
Another way to save a good photo is to like it. You can find all your liked photos in one place. The only difference between likes & saved photos is the collections. You can't organize the liked photos as you do with the saved ones.
Go to your Instagram account, tap the burger icon (three horizontal lines), then search (& select) 'likes'. You can delete the liked photos or sort them based on what you're looking for.
How do I find my archives?
Go to your profile, and tap three lines (three horizontal lines burger menu) in the upper right corner. Tap 'Settings' and then tap 'Archives'
