Instagram Now Lets You Save Posts to View Later

[MacRumors]

Instagram today launched a small update for its iOS and Android apps, allowing users to save a post they're interested in to check out later. Underneath each post in the feed users will find a small bookmark icon, and tapping it will send it to a new Saved Post section in the Profile tab.

Saved Posts are private and only visible for you to view, and Instagram says that it'll help organize and memorialize each user's favorite videos and images from their feeds and the Explore tab. Any public profile can have their pictures saved for later by other users, but only followers of private accounts can save their posts.

When you stumble upon a funny video you want to remember, a new outfit you like or even inspiration for an upcoming vacation, you can now keep track of favorite posts right from your profile.

Over the past few months Instagram has been focusing on "pressure-free" updates and anti-harassment tools that let users navigate and post on the social network in a more relaxed environment. Coming soon, users will be able to turn the comments section of their posts off completely.

Instagram is available to download from the iOS App Store for free. [Direct Link]

I could of sworn this was already implemented.

I like that it is private. I still have a problem with ALL my followers seeing every photo I like or comment I make. Those should be options. There are children in my family that follow me so I have to stay PG all the time....I am NOT a PG person.

I only recently discovered that this is possible in the heart tab, so at least it's sorta hidden. But yeah anyone that knows about it...

Various updates come to some people first either as part of some testing and/or phased rollout of features.

The saved section doesn't support 3D Touch or long press previews. Hopefully they'll notice and fix..

Meh. I have been using multiple clipboards for years now by dragging the item to the desktop. Maybe not elegant but free and it works on any Mac.

They don't see comments, only likes.
