Download any Instagram reel to your phone or tablet in seconds
Want to download a hilarious Instagram reel to your phone so you can watch it any time? If it's one of your own reels, you'll just need to tap the three dots on the reel and choose "Save to your device."[1] But what about other people's reels? Unlike TikTok, which makes it easy to download almost any video, there's no download option on Instagram reels. But don't worry—there are several incredibly easy workarounds you can use to save any reel you want—even the audio! This wikiHow article will teach you how to save a reel from Instagram to your camera roll or gallery on an Android, iPhone, or iPad.

[Edit]Save Another Person's Reels via Stories

- You won't have to keep the reel in your stories if you don't want to. Just delete it after posting and you'll still have the video in your camera roll!

- Tap the Share icon. It looks like a paper airplane, and you'll see it on the right side of the reel.

You'll be able to use these sites in any web browser on your Android, iPhone, or iPad, as well as in your PC or Mac's web browser. Just keep in mind that this will only work for public reels—for private reels, you'll need to record the screen.
[Edit]Install a Reels Downloading App
- If you plan to download a lot of reels, you'll probably want to install an app on your phone or tablet. Fortunately, you have plenty of free options to choose from! The only limitation is that you won't be able to download private reels. If the reel you want to save is private, you'll need to screen record it.

- This will also work for drafts of reels you haven't posted yet.
- The trick here is timing—you'll want to start screen recording as soon as you start playing the reel. But you'll also be able to trim the video down after recording, so it's not a big deal if you capture some of your screen movements.
