Instagram's Save feature lacks a search and filtering option, making it difficult to find saved reels among other saved content like recipes and fashion ideas.
Enhancing the Save feature with a simple search bar in the Saved tab could improve user engagement, reinforce the value of saving, and encourage categorization.
The proposed search feature would allow users to use natural language queries to find saved reels, making it easier to locate specific content.
The author is building a prototype using Streamlit, OpenAI, and vector search to enable users to search their saved reels with context and natural language.
The idea for improving the Save feature stemmed from the frustration of not being able to easily find saved reels and serves as a creative project for the author.
