I made an instagram account a few years back only because it was the easiest way to look at samples from a cake maker I was ordering from for a special occasion. Other than that, never use it.

Now I went on a few days ago to get some ideas for kitchen remodeling, after exhausting Pinterest and Houzz. My designer is anxious for me to send her ideas of what I like. Whenever I saw something I liked on Instagram I clicked the heart. Now I just went back on and I don't see any way to pull up all the things I put a heart by, or find my search history or any way to pull up all the stuff I liked.

Is there a way to do this and not have to start all over again?

Yes there is a way to find your liked posts I’ve done it before but don’t remember how

There’s a little bookmark option on the bottom left corner, that will save your finds for later.

But there is no bottom. I scroll down, and scroll down, and scroll down.... and there is just more and more feed.... kind of like FB. It never ends.

Bookmarking for future is easier
To find pictures that you liked:
Go to your profile page
Click menu in top right corner
Click "your activity"
Click "interactions"
Click "likes "
A page of all your liked pics should be there

There’s also a save icon. You can create a folder (like decorating) and save to that collection. Then you can pull up the collection to show her.

Not finding any of this on my profile page.

On my profile page I see my icon/photo and next to it my name and next to that an edit profile button. The a ring that when you click brings up a menu with "change password", "QR code", "Notifications", "privacy & security", etc. Below my name it says: 0 posts/ 55 followers/ 31 following.

Don't see any other kind of menus or options.

Will try this going forward but I already spent a couple hours going through stuff and clicking that little heart on the corner of pictures I liked. Very upset I can't access any of it.

I don't know what phone you have but I have an android. On my profile page top right hand corner there is a small icon that has 3 lines. You click on it, choose "settings" then choose "account" and then scroll down the options almost till the bottom and it should have an option "posts you've liked".

Oh, then I don't know. Do you have any settings option?

The little heart is on the left hand corner. On the right hand bottom corner of each post there is a little bookmark icon. That’s the one you’re supposed to click if you want to save posts to look at later.

It’s possible this is only an option on the app. There is a way to find all the posts you liked.

OK, so I put the instagram ap on my phone and now I see where I can track my history but since I did it on my laptop and not the phone, it's not there (even though I was logged in to same account). GRRRR!!!!

Guess that's that. So annoying.

I think history and liked posts are 2 different things. You should still be able to find liked posts. Check every option.
