Google has introduced a hidden feature that you should use. It’s a bookmarking-style feature available on the web and interfaces like Google TV devices.
This feature is called Google Saved. Earlier, it was known as Google Collections, and it serves as a central place where you can save locations, web links, movies, shows, and other items. You might have already saved some things here without even realizing it. It’s an easy way to save things you want to revisit later.
How to Save Items on Google Saved
Google Saved is available across various platforms and syncs all through your Google account. For example, when you perform a Google search on the web, click on the three dots next to any result and select “Save” from the panel that appears. This feature is also available in Google Image Search. After choosing an image, tap on it, click the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner, and choose “Save.”
When you save something, a popup will appear, allowing you to select which collection you want to save it in. You can also choose an existing collection or create a new one.

Save Different Things:
You can save web links, images, and locations in Google Saved. Select a place or landmark through Google Maps and click the “Save” button in the popup panel.
This feature is linked to Google Maps’ list feature, allowing you to organize selected places into private or public lists. However, all saved locations will also appear in Google Saved.
Similarly, you can save movies and shows to your collections. When you search for a movie or show on Google, you’ll see a “Want to Watch” button on the right side—just click on it. If you’re using the Google TV interface, select any item, hold it, and choose “Add to Watchlist.”
These features are available on both desktop and mobile devices, though the Save buttons might sometimes appear in different places. Ensure you’re logged into your Google account so all your saved items are gathered in one place.
How to Find Saved Items on Google Saved:
Finding items saved in Google Saved is very easy. You can go directly to the Google Saved page, sometimes called Google’s Interests page. You might already be using this feature without realizing it. For instance, if you’ve saved movies on Google TV or created lists in Google Maps, all those will appear here.

How To View Collections:
When you visit the Google Saved page, you’ll see different collections. Some of these are created by default, like the “All Saved Items” collection containing everything you’ve saved. You can use the search box on the screen to find what you’re looking for. Once inside a collection, you can click on any item to view it in detail.
Edit or Delete Saved Bookmark Items:
Add new items to any collection using the “Add” button. You can delete an already saved item or move it to another collection through the three-dot menu. If you want to move or delete multiple items at once, click the “Select” button at the top, choose the items, and take your desired action.
Create a New Collection:
Click the “Create” button on the Google Search homepage to make a new collection. You can name it and add a description. Inside collections, use the “Share” button to share them publicly with others. If you want to rearrange your collections, click on the three dots on the right side of the collection.
Find Saved Items on Mobile:
You can also view your saved items through the Google app on your phone. Go to the “Saved” tab, and all your collections will appear there, like on the web. You will have the same options available here, such as sharing items, deleting, creating new collections, and editing them.
