# Save from Instagram

Published: 2026-02-06 · Last updated: 2026-02-06

Found a mouthwatering recipe on Instagram? Whether it's a photo post, a Reel, or a Story, you can send it straight to Honeydew using the Android share sheet. Honeydew's AI will pull out the recipe details so you don't have to type anything yourself.

## How to save an Instagram recipe

1

**Open the post, Reel, or Story**

Navigate to the Instagram content that contains the recipe you want to save.

2

**Tap the share button**

For posts and Reels, tap the paper-plane icon below the content. For Stories, tap the three-dot menu or the share arrow.

3

**Select "Share to..." or "Share link"**

Choose the option that opens the Android share sheet rather than sending it to another Instagram user.

4

**Choose Honeydew**

Select Honeydew from the share sheet. The app will receive the Instagram link and begin processing it.

5

**Review and save**

Honeydew will extract the recipe from the Instagram content. Review the ingredients and steps, then save it to your collection.

## What types of Instagram content work?

*   Photo posts -- Honeydew reads the caption and any text in the image to find recipe details.
*   Reels -- The AI processes the video to extract recipe ingredients and instructions.
*   Stories -- Share the Story link to Honeydew before it expires to capture the recipe.

If a recipe is spread across multiple Instagram slides (carousel posts), share the entire post rather than a single slide. Honeydew will do its best to capture all the content.
