MySwipeWhy saved places get lost
Instagram saves a post, not a place. Sometimes the post has a location tag, but often the name only appears in the caption, in text over the video, or in what the creator says. “Six cafés in Lisbon” is one Reel with six places in it, and none of them are on a map.
The manual fix is to look each place up in Google Maps or Apple Maps and save it to a list. That works for a handful of places. It stops working when you’ve saved a few dozen Reels for one trip.
How MySwipe finds the places
- You share a Reel, TikTok, video or link to MySwipe.
- It reads the caption, the text on screen and the transcript, and picks out the places mentioned.
- Each place is looked up and pinned on the map. Tap a pin and you get the save it came from.
Trips build themselves
Saves about the same city or region group into a trip without you doing anything. Save twenty things about Lisbon and a Lisbon trip appears with twenty saves in it, ready to open on the map before you go.
Ask about the trip
Because MySwipe has read the posts, you can ask it things like “where should I eat in Alfama?” It answers from your own saves and shows which posts it used. If it suggests a new collection, nothing is created until you say so.
What to expect
Places are found by reading the text, so a vague name can land somewhere plausible but wrong. You can remove a place from a save. MySwipe doesn’t import your existing Saved list, so the map fills up with the posts you share to it from now on.
