How to search your Instagram saved posts and TikTok favorites in one place
Last updated November 3, 2026
There's no setting in either app for this. Instagram's Saved and TikTok's Favorites are separate lists, and neither has a search box. To search both at once, copy them into one tool. Neatsaves brings in both through its Chrome extension and lets you search them together by keyword or meaning.
Sort everything you've liked and saved, in one place.
Free holds 25 saves. No card needed. Pro starts with 3 days free.
Can you search Instagram Saved and TikTok Favorites together?
Not inside either app. Instagram Saved has no search, sort or filter, and TikTok describes no search inside Favorites. Each app's search bar looks across the whole platform, not your saves.
- On Instagram, open your profile, the menu in the top right, then Saved. You can file posts into collections, and that's all. (Instagram Help)
- On TikTok, open Profile, then the Favorites tab, which TikTok also calls Saved. Collections there hold up to 1,000 posts each. (TikTok Support)
What each app lets you export
Both give you a data file, which is a list of what you saved, not a way to search it. Neither file mixes the two apps.
- Instagram's Export your information tool gives you a file of your saved posts and collections. Ask for JSON if you plan to import it elsewhere. (Instagram Help)
- TikTok's Download your data, under Settings and privacy, then Account, sends a file once it's ready, which can take a few days. (TikTok Support)
Put both in one library with Neatsaves
Neatsaves reads your Instagram saved posts and your TikTok Favorites in Chrome, files each one into a category, and searches them together, beside your X bookmarks, YouTube likes and Reddit saves.
- Install the Chrome extension, sign in to Instagram and TikTok in Chrome, and run the Sync tab. It copies in what you've already saved.
- After that it saves each new post when you tap Like, Bookmark or Save.
- Search by a word from the caption or by what the video says. TikTok captions and spoken words are read for you.
- Your Instagram collections and TikTok collections stay as they are. Neatsaves reads them and keeps its own copy.
Free holds 25 saves. Pro is $8 a month or $72 a year and holds up to 25,000. Search by meaning and export work on both plans.
