Save from Instagram
Save Instagram reels and posts to a list
Found a reel you want to come back to? Send it from Instagram to OurStash, pick a list, and add a note on why you saved it. Free for iPhone.
How it works
How to save an Instagram reel or post
- Open the reel or post in Instagram and tap its Share button (the paper plane).
- Open the iPhone Share sheet. Look for Share to or More among Instagram’s share options.
- Choose OurStash. Not in the row of apps? Swipe to the end, tap More and turn OurStash on. You can drag it to the front.
- Pick a list and save. Add a note if you like, then tap Save.
Another way: tap Copy link in Instagram, then open OurStash and paste it with Add Link.
What happens after you save
OurStash keeps the link in the list you picked, together with your note.
- Open it on Instagram. Tap the post, then Open in Instagram. It opens in the Instagram app, or on Instagram’s website if you don’t have the app.
- Find it again. Search your notes and titles, or filter a list to show only Instagram posts.
- Keep it next to everything else. The same list can hold TikToks, YouTube videos, web pages and map places for the same plan.
- Share the list. Invite friends or family so they can see it or add their own finds.
Ideas for Instagram saves
Most saved reels fall into a few kinds of plans. Give each one its own list:
- Recipes. Reels you want to cook, in a recipe list with your swaps in the note.
- Travel spots. Restaurants and viewpoints for a trip, in a shared travel list.
- Gift ideas. Things you spot in your feed for someone else, in a gift ideas list.
- Workouts and tutorials. Routines and how-tos you mean to try, in a watch later list.
Questions, answered
Does OurStash download Instagram videos?
No. OurStash saves the link, not the video. If the post is deleted or made private on Instagram, it stops working in OurStash too.
Can I save Instagram posts to a shared list?
Yes. Save them into any list you’ve shared, and everyone in the list sees the post and your note.
Is OurStash part of Instagram?
No. OurStash is an independent app and is not affiliated with Instagram.
Is OurStash free?
Yes. OurStash is free with no ads, for iPhone.
