How to save or download a Reel from Instagram

Learn how to save to your profile or download a Reels on Instagram using the menus at the bottom or downloading apps

You can save a Reel or download Instagram Reels to your mobile phone. There are two methods to do this and I will detail how each of them works, on iOS and Android, since the process does not require using other applications, just access the browser.

How to save Reels videos on Instagram

You can save Instagram Reels within the Instagram app itself using your smartphone. Follow the walkthrough and save your favourite videos.

  1. Open Instagram;
  2. Tap Search to open reels on the high you want to download; OR visit a user’s profile and tap the Reels icon;
    OR tap the newest Reels icon in your Instagram menu;
  3. Once the video is uploaded, click the three-point menu;
  4. Between options, tap “Save” (the last one).

Where are reels saved on Instagram?

To access the saved Reels video, just follow the steps below.

  1. Go back to the Instagram home screen;
  2. Tap your profile icon (your photo);
  3. Tap the top menu and “Settings”;
  4. Under “Account” go to “Saved”;
  5. You’ll find your recently saved videos in the All Posts folder.

For now, there is still no folder of only saved Reels, which leaves everything confused.

How to download Reels from Instagram

Now, if you want to download and have a copy of Someone’s Instagram Reels to share the video on other social networks (remember that sharing third-party content without permission is not a very cool attitude there), the method is different.

You can download apps like:

  • InSaver for Instagram (iOS)
  • REPOST IG (InstaSave) (Android)

Or any other similar, there are several in the shops and they keep being replaced.

How to download Reels videos

If you have chosen to install an application, the method is very similar. However, to download videos from Instagram Reels you must first copy the link (URL).

  1. Open Instagram;
  2. Tap Search to open reels on the high you want to download; OR visit a user’s profile and tap the Reels icon;
  3. OR tap the newest Reels icon in your Instagram menu;
  4. Once the video is uploaded, click the three-point menu;
  5. Between the options, tap “Copy Link”.

With the copied link, paste it onto the site or app you want to download videos from on Instagram. The advantage of using the site is that you don’t need to install anything else.

The file will be saved to your Downloads folder and you can view it whenever you want.

Can I download Private Reels?

No.

Instagram doesn’t allow everyone to access private videos, feeds or stories, depending on the social network’s privacy controls. Download only the audiences.
