  • Once you locate the saved post, select the Share button and then choose your share settings to post it to your own feed.
  • Can I download and store my saved Facebook posts?
  • Yes, you can download saved Facebook posts. You’ll need to download a copy of your Facebook data (this will automatically include saved posts). Saved posts can be found under “Saved Items and Collection” from either the “Access Your Information” or “Download Your Information” options.
