A post with many saves is a good sign that helps increase reach, thereby boosting the number of views.

yeah, saves can help, but only if the post is already holding attention. if watch time and shares are weak, saves alone probably won’t push it much.

In my experience a lot of saves is usually a good thing. It does not equal more views, but it does tell Instagram that the content is compelling enough that ppl want to come back to it later. When this happens in combination with other engagement like shares, comments or good watch time, I have found the post will often continue to reach more people over time rather than quicklly fade.

Shares help increase views. Share a story on your secondary accounts and then you will notice an increase in views on your primary post. 10-20 secondary accounts will help you get around 5k-10k views

While saves alone don't guarantee more views, they can contribute to better reach when combined with good engagement

Yes, Saves are currently the highest weighted signal in the Instagram algorithm, the more saves you get, the more the AI flags your post as high value and automatically pushes it to Explore Reels for a massive view boost.

of course saves can really help.it is a great signal for engagement bt it will be more effective when combined with high watch time share and engagement in general.so I would say that you should not concentrate on just saves.
saves may be a gud indicator of engagement however, there is little chance that they will manage to bring more views without any additional support. In my opinion, watch time, share nd post engagement are of equal value.

Yeah, saves are a good signal because they show people found the content valuable enough to come back to. It can help your post get shown to more people, but it's not the only thing Instagram looks at.
Shares, watch time (for Reels), comments, and overall engagement matter too. A post with lots of saves but low watch time might not go far. So focus on making content people actually want to save and share, not just chasing the metric.

Yes it will increase views because a lot of people are going to watch the saves 1) and 2) the IG algorithm favours the posts that have a lot of saves and promotes them more.

Saves are generally a positive engagement signal, but I would not assume they directly guarantee more views. Content quality and overall engagement still matter more.
saves are a great metric since they prove the content is worth it in the long run yet saves are not an equation where the more saves the more views. if the saves are backed up by high watch time nd shares then u may expect the post to go out of ur followers circlle.
Saves can be considered a gud indicator but i would not expects that saves alone can move the views forward. if users saves the content and later return and interact with it then that is a much better indicator.
