What Does “Saving” Mean on Facebook Marketplace?
When you save a product on Facebook Marketplace, you’re essentially bookmarking it. This allows you to:
- Revisit the item later without needing to search again.
- Track the item’s availability.
- Decide at your own pace without losing track of the post.
How to Save Items/Products on Facebook Marketplace (Mobile App)
Here’s how to save items using the Facebook app on your smartphone:
- Open the Facebook App and tap the Marketplace icon at the bottom (iPhone) or top (Android).
- Browse through listings or use the search bar to find what you’re looking for.
- Once you find a product you’re interested in, tap on it to open the full details.
- Tap the Save (bookmark) icon usually found beneath the product image or title.

- Browse or search for items.
- Click on the listing that catches your eye.

Why Save Items Instead of Messaging the Seller Right Away?
Here are some smart reasons to use the save feature:

Simple Tips To Help Organize Your Saved Listings
While Facebook doesn’t yet allow folders inside the Marketplace Saved section, you can manage your general Facebook Saved items (including Marketplace ones) by creating collections. This works better on desktop:
- Go to Saved in your main Facebook menu.
- Click + New Collection.
- Move Marketplace items to specific folders like “Phones,” “Furniture,” or “Gift Ideas.”
What to Do If the “Save” Button Is Missing
Sometimes users report not seeing the Save icon. If that happens:
- Ensure your Facebook app is updated.
- Try switching from app to desktop or vice versa.
- Restart the app or your phone.
- Check your internet connection.
- If it persists, clear cache or reinstall the app.
If none of these work, Facebook Help Center may have updated instructions based on your device or account settings.
Conclusion
The ability to save items on Facebook Marketplace is a simple yet powerful tool for smarter shopping. Whether you’re casually browsing or actively planning a purchase, using the Save feature helps you stay organized and intentional with your buying choices.
So the next time you see something you like on Marketplace, don’t hesitate — tap that Save button and revisit it when you’re ready!
