Did you post your Reels and realized one of the text was missing?

Instagram sometimes has glitches.

Sometimes all your Reels Drafts could disappear. Yes, it happens.

And sometimes your text could disappear after you post.

So what can you do?

Let’s start!

How to fix Instagram Reels text disappearing after you post

Unfortunately you cannot edit your Reels after you’ve posted it on your feed.

There is only one thing I 1000% recommend you do every single time you are done editing your Reels:

  • Save your Reels to your camera roll (it will save your text perfectly)
  • Re-upload it on Instagram

It will save you time from re-creating your Reels from scratch AND from re-typing your caption.

In fact, you can go further: Schedule your Reels with Preview App. This way you’ll always have a copy of your Reels and captions (I’ll show you after this):
