Where to see drafts? In ig
On Instagram, to find your drafts:
- Tap the + (Create) button at the bottom
- Start a new post and you'll be taken to your gallery
- Tap "Drafts" at the top left of the media selection screen
Or for Reels drafts:
- Tap + > Reel
- Your saved reel drafts appear at the top of the camera screen under "Drafts"
For Stories, drafts are shown when you open the camera — look for a "Drafts" banner at the bottom before you start a new story.
Note: Instagram drafts are saved locally on your device, so they won't appear if you switch devices or reinstall the app.

Instagram drafts not visible 2024 2025 where to find drafts
Yes, Instagram has changed how drafts work. Here's what's likely going on:
Instagram moved drafts — they're no longer found in the post creation flow for everyone. The updated location is:
- Go to your Profile
- Tap the ≡ (hamburger menu) (top right)
- Tap "Your activity" → then look for "Drafts"
Or alternatively:
- Tap + to create a post → select Post (not Reel) → the drafts option may appear at the top of your photo grid as a folder
Why it might not show:
- Drafts are device-specific — if you switched phones or reinstalled the app, they're gone
- Instagram has been rolling out UI changes inconsistently, so the location varies by app version
- If you never saved a draft, the folder simply won't appear
Check your app version — if you're on an older version, updating Instagram may restore or reposition the drafts button.
