Instagram's own "Saved" collections vanish if the post is deleted, the account goes private, or you lose access to the app. Share a post into Fav and the caption, the author, and every image in the carousel are copied into your library — readable and searchable later, on your terms.
Instagram's image URLs are signed and expire in hours, so a plain bookmark of one is broken by tomorrow. Your save keeps its own copy in your library, which is why a two-year-old save still opens. It stays private unless you publish it.
In Instagram, tap Share on the post and pick Fav (or copy the link and paste it into Fav). The AI title, summary, and tags are written for you within seconds, and the save is private unless you publish it.
No. Fav only reads what a logged-out visitor can already see. Posts from private accounts, and posts that have been deleted, can't be fetched — the link is still saved, just without media.
The cover frame, the caption, the clip length, and the link back to the original post, so the save stays recognisable and searchable. Playback stays on Instagram.
No. Fav never asks for your Instagram credentials and doesn't sign in to Instagram on your behalf.
Fav is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta; those names and marks belong to their respective owners.
