You can now save individual Threads posts to revisit at a later date. These are saved in a dedicated folder, allowing you to find and view them easily without having to go searching for them.

How to Save Posts on Threads

To save a Threads post, simply tap the three horizontal dots next to the post you want to save. This brings up a contextual menu that allows you to interact with that post and the poster in various ways. You can Save or Hide the post, or Mute, Block, or Report the poster. In this case, we want to save the post.

Tap Save, and that post will be saved to your Saved folder. A popup will appear telling you that you’ve saved the post, and invite you to See All. If you tap that quickly before it disappears, you’ll be whisked straight to your Saved folder. Otherwise, you’ll have to navigate there manually.

How to View Your Saved Threads Posts

To view your Saved Threads posts, which is, after all, the whole point of saving them:

1. Tap the outline of a human on the right-hand side of the bottom menu bar. This takes you to your profile.
2. Tap the two horizontal lines of differing lengths in the top, right-hand corner. This takes you to your Settings.
3. Cast your eyes down until you see Saved, and click that to open your folder of saved Threads posts.

To delete or unsave a saved post, simply tap the three dots next to a Threads post you have previously saved, and click Unsave. The post will disappear from your Saved folder (after refreshing or revisiting it), never to be seen again.

Reasons Why You Should Save Threads Posts

Like all social media apps, Threads is full of content. Especially if you hang out on the For You tab where Threads recommends content it thinks you’ll like. Quite often, it’s wrong, but just occasionally it will surface a post worth saving from a stranger you don’t follow on Threads.

As reported by ZDNet, Threads is increasing in popularity as it continues to take bites of X’s userbase. This means that the number of posts is only going to increase.

You might want to save a Threads post because:

1. It contains some helpful advice you want to revisit at a later date.
2. It contains some words of wisdom you want to live by in the future.
3. It contains a funny joke you want to save in order to retell others.

There will be plenty of other reasons too, but these are a just a handful of reasons why Threads’ Save function is useful. And if you can’t find anything on Threads worth saving, at least you can delete your Threads account without deleting your Instagram.
