Instagram offers the ability to save a draft of posts and reels so that users can find them later on. Apparently, a lot of Instagrammers use the draft feature to save their Instagram Reels without posting. This comes in handy in case you want to publish a reel at a later time with all the necessary edits and touchups. Moreover, people prefer to save reels as drafts since there is no way to schedule the posting of reel videos on Instagram.

While most users know how to use the draft for reels as the ‘Save as Draft’ option is highlighted on the share page. That said, you may get puzzled while trying to find your Reel drafts on Instagram. That’s because, unlike Instagram posts, you won’t see draft reels anywhere while recording a new reel or watching other people’s reels.
