There are several ways to download Instagram Reels depending on the source of the Reel (your own or someone else's) and the device you are using: Downloading Your Own Instagram Reels:
- In the Instagram app, go to your profile and tap the Reels tab.
- Open the Reel you want, then tap the three dots icon.
- Tap "Save" or "Save to your device" to download it directly to your camera roll.
- If you are creating a Reel, before posting, tap the download icon to save it to your device.
Downloading Someone Else’s Public Reel:
- The account must be public, and the owner must have enabled Reel downloads.
- Find the Reel, tap the share icon (paper airplane), and if available, tap the "Download" option.
Using Third-Party Apps or Websites:
- Copy the link to the Reel by tapping the three dots on the Reel and selecting "Copy Link."
- Use websites like iGram, SSSInstagram, or SaveFrom.net by pasting the link and downloading the video.
- On Android, there are apps available in the Play Store such as Video Downloader or Reels Saver that can download Reels by pasting copied links into them.
Alternative Method:
- If downloading directly is not possible, screen recording the Reel while playing it can also save the video.
Always respect content creators' rights by not reposting downloaded Reels without permission or crediting the original creator, and avoid violating copyright.
