Instagram Saved Videos Keep Jumping to the Top

Some users say Instagram’s saved-video lists repeatedly jump back to the top while they scroll or open older videos. The behavior is making older saves difficult to reach, but the available examples do not establish its cause or a reliable fix.

This week, some users say Instagram’s saved-video lists repeatedly jump back to the top while they scroll through older saves or open a video. The behavior can make videos saved more than two weeks ago difficult or impossible to access.

What users are seeing

The reported behavior occurs while scrolling through large collections of saved videos. In one description, the list jumps back to a video near the top repeatedly. Another user says opening a video after scrolling down sends the playlist back to the beginning.

One user says the problem has continued for about a week on an iPhone. They also report trying to delete and offload the app, clear data, log out, restart the phone, and reinstall the app without resolving the issue.

What remains unknown

The examples show a repeated scrolling problem, but they do not confirm whether it is caused by Instagram’s servers, the app, a specific account, or another factor. They also do not establish that Instagram has introduced a confirmed bug, changed the feature, or issued a fix.

The available information does not identify a reliable way to prevent the list from resetting. For now, users experiencing the problem may have to wait for more information or a future app change.
