How do you save posts on Instagram that you want to come back to?

Instagram has introduced the ability to bookmark posts you want to return to later.

The Facebook-owned photo-sharing app is adding a new private tab to user profiles – that only the user can see – that enables them to save the posts they want to come back to.

“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 favourite posts right from your profile,” the social media site said.

The new feature will appear as part of an app update for both iOS and Android, which the firm says is available from today.

A new bookmark icon will appear at the bottom of an image, close to the Like and Comment buttons.

It’s the latest in a recent succession of updates to the platform – including live video, a stories feature similar to that of Snapchat, and disappearing photos and videos sent to friends.
