Instagram Reels are a fun and engaging way to share short videos with your followers. But what if you want to save a Reel to watch later or share with someone who isn’t on Instagram? Unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t have a built-in download option for all Reels. However, there are a few workarounds you can use to download Reels from public accounts.

Here’s what you need to know:

• You can only download Reels from public accounts.
• The creator of the Reel must allow downloads in their settings.
• Downloaded Reels will have a watermark and attribution to the original creator.
• The download feature is not available for users under 18.

How to download a Reel from a public account:

1. Open the Reel you want to download.
2. Tap the three dots icon.
3. Tap “Download.”

The Reel will be saved to your device’s camera roll.

How to activate downloads for your Reels:

1. Record a Reel.
2. Tap “Next.”
3. Tap “More options.”
4. Tap “Advanced settings.”
5. Toggle on “Allow downloads.”

I hope this helps!

Here are some additional tips:

• If you’re having trouble downloading a Reel, make sure the creator has allowed downloads in their settings.
• You can also use a third-party app to download Reels, but be aware that these apps may not be safe or reliable.
• It’s always a good idea to ask the creator for permission before downloading their Reel.
