How to access saved posts on facebook

Sometimes I have 10 minutes to scan my notifications and my Facebook feed, and I see at least 3 posts that have articles that I’d like to read, but when I go back to find them later, those 3 posts are so far down in my Facebook feed I can’t find them!   Or maybe — you scan your FB feed while waiting in line at the coffee shop, and you see a recipe you’d like to make, but when you go back into FB you can’t remember who posted it and now it’s lost!  Sound familiar?

It must happen to everyone because Facebook has a save feature.   Just click the down arrow at the top right of the post – and click save.   This works on desktop or mobile!

Like any social media website, Facebook is a great place to find entertaining, informative, and interesting video content. 

Sometimes, though, you're scrolling through Facebook and see a video you want to watch, or a long post you want to read, but you don't have time to look at it right that second. Maybe you're someplace quiet and can't watch a video with sound, or maybe you just don't have the time or attention span at the moment.

Regardless of the reason, all you have to do is hit "Save Post" and the post will be added to your Saved list.

Now, when you want to watch that video, how do you find it? Your Saved list is located in a different place depending on whether you are using Facebook on a desktop computer or your mobile device, and it's not always obvious how to get to it.

Here's how to find your saved videos and posts on Facebook, on both desktop and mobile.
