How do you save Reels on Facebook?
You can save a Facebook Reel by opening the Reel, tapping the three dots/Options menu, and choosing Save reel or Save video. Later, you can find it in Facebook’s Saved section.
On the Facebook app
- Open the Reel you want to keep.
- Tap Options.
- Tap Save reel or Save video.
Where to find it
- Go to your profile or menu.
- Open Saved.
- Look for the reel there when you want to watch it again.
Useful note
If you want the Reel stored on your phone instead of just in Facebook, that is a different action: you’d use Download reel only for reels you shared yourself, not for every reel you view.
How it differs
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Save reel | Stores it inside Facebook for later viewing. |
| Download reel | Saves your own shared reel to your device. |
