The first version of Instagram, which was available for download on October 6, 2010, was for iPhone users. It was a wise decision: The popularity of the iPhone combined with Instagram’s ease of use when it came to sharing photos resulted in more than one million registered Instagram users by the end of 2010. You can install the iPhone app not only on your iPhone but also on your iPad if you prefer to use your tablet.

Installing Instagram on an iPhone

It’s easy to download Instagram from the App Store to your iPhone:
  1. Tap the App Store icon.
  2. Tap the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Tap the Search icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.
  4. Tap the Search box, at the top of the screen, and start typing the word Instagram.

    After you type the first few letters, Instagram appears at the top of the results list.

  5. Tap Instagram in the results list.

    The app information appears on the screen.

  6. Tap Get.

    If you need to sign into the App Store, type your password in the Sign In to iTunes Store window and then tap Buy. (If you use Touch ID instead of typing your password, place the appropriate finger or thumb on the Home button.)

  7. Tap Open.
The next time you want to open Instagram, swipe to the Home screen that has room for icons — because that’s where you’ll find the Instagram icon.

Installing Instagram on an iPad

Instagram has yet to create a native app for the iPad, which is another one of life’s great mysteries (but not at the level of where missing socks go). However, you can use the iPhone app on the iPad.

Here’s how to install Instagram on an iPad:

  1. Tap the App Store icon.
  2. Tap the Search icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap the Search box, at the top of the screen, and start typing the word Instagram.

    After you type the first two or three letters, Instagram appears at the top of the results list.

  4. Tap Instagram in the results list.
  5. In the upper-left corner of the screen, tap Supports.
  6. Tap iPhone Only.

    Yes, tap iPhone only when you’re installing Instagram on your iPad.

  7. Tap Get.

    The Instagram app is in the upper-left corner.

    If you need to sign into the App Store, type your password in the Sign In to iTunes Store window. Then tap Buy. Or, if you use Touch ID, place the appropriate finger or thumb on the Home button instead.

  8. Tap Open.

Installing Instagram on an Android

After Instagram was satisfied with the development of its app on the iPhone, staffers turned their attention to developing Instagram for the Android platform. On the first day the app was released, in April 2012, more than a million users downloaded it.

Here’s how to install Instagram from the Google Play Store:

  1. Tap the Play Store icon on the Home screen.

    If the Play Store icon isn’t on a Home screen, tap Apps on the Home screen and then tap Play Store in the Apps screen.

  2. Tap the Search box at the top of the screen, and start typing the word Instagram.

    After you type, Instagram appears in the results list.

  3. Tap Instagram in the results list.

    The app information screen appears.

How to download Instagram photos to your phone or PC

Are you wondering how to download Instagram photos? There’s no native option to download other peoples’ images from Instagram, so you’ll have to use third-party software or tricky solutions to get the job done. Here are a few methods to try on both Android and PC devices.

QUICK ANSWER

The simplest way to download Instagram photos is by taking a screenshot. You can do this by simultaneously pressing the Power and Volume Down buttons on the phone. You can also take screenshots on a Windows PC using the Snipping Tool app.


JUMP TO KEY SECTIONS

  • Save images on Instagram
  • Take a screenshot
  • DownloadGram
  • Fast Save for Instagram
  • Save-o-gram

Editor’s note: Instagram stops people from downloading images for a reason. These are intellectual property. Laws differ from place to place, but chances are it’s illegal to use them or keep them without permission. Be sure to research local laws before proceeding. We also recommend that you make sure whoever uploaded the image doesn’t mind you downloading it. 

Also: All instructions in this tutorial were put together using a Pixel 4a with 5G running Android 13 or a custom PC running Windows 11. Remember, some steps might differ depending on your hardware and software.

Try saving images on Instagram first

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority

If you just want to admire an Instagram photo whenever you please, you may not need to download it. Instagram has a built-in feature for creating a collection of your favorite Instagram posts. This makes it easy to bookmark images and enjoy them at will. The only downside to this is that the image will disappear from your saved images section if the author happens to delete the Instagram post. This is rarely the case, though.

How to save images on Instagram:

  1. Open the Instagram app on your phone, or the website on your computer.
  2. Find the post you want to save.
  3. Hit the bookmark icon in the bottom-right corner of the post.

Now you can view your saved posts by going to Instagram > Profile > Menu > Saved on Android, or Instagram > Profile > Saved on the official website.

Take a screenshot!

This is not optimal, and the resolution won’t be great, but taking a screenshot is the easiest way to download images from Instagram. We have dedicated tutorials for taking screenshots on Android and Windows.

How to download Instagram photos using DownloadGram

The easiest way to truly download Instagram photos is with DownloadGram. It essentially allows you to throw the links you need into a website and download the results.

How to use DownloadGram:

  1. Launch Instagram on your device and find the image you want to download.
  2. Tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of the image and select Link.
  3. Visit DownloadGram’s website at www.downloadgram.org.
  4. Paste the link into the text box.
  5. Select Download Now.
  6. Hit Download right below the image.

How to download Instagram photos using Fast Save for Instagram

 

Another way to download Instagram photos requires a little help from the Play Store. Don’t worry; the app is free to use. After that, the copy and paste process is pretty much the same as using DownloadGram.

How to use Fast Save for Instagram:

  1. Download Fast Save for Instagram from the Play Store (it’s free).
  2. Open the Instagram app and find the image you want to download.
  3. Tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of the image and select Link.
  4. Open the Fast Save app.
  5. Select Paste link & download.
  6. Paste the link into the search box, and hit Download.

Also, try Save-o-gram

We’ve already shown you a way to download images from Instagram using a website and an Android app. Now it’s time for Microsoft users to take the spotlight with this Windows-specific program. Save-o-gram also happens to be a pretty complete solution. This software allows you to download photos independently or in a .zip file. You can also visualize images in a resizable grid. It’s even possible to download all pictures from an Instagram user at once.

There is one massive downside to this great software! It’s a paid app and costs $9. You get a 14-day trial, though. And it’s a great tool, so it might be worth your cash.

How to use Save-o-gram:

  1. Download and install Save-o-gram.
  2. Enter a username, hashtag, or link into the text box on top to see Instagram images.
  3. Select the images you want to download.
  4. Click Download selected photos or Download as ZIP file.

FAQs

Images are intellectual property, so you should always be careful downloading or using images you find on Instagram (or anywhere else). Be sure to research your local laws, to stay within the bounds of legality. Also, make sure the image’s owner doesn’t mind you keeping or using the shot.

Instagram wants to protect its users’ intellectual property. This is why it’s so complicated to get images off the app.

Instagram image resolution tops off at 1080p in width. Any larger image will be reduced to 1080 pixels wide. Anything smaller will be stretched.

FOR THOSE FOR WHOM IT DOES NOT WORK

Instagram is blocked in Russia. This is not an Instagram solution. To continue using it on an iPhone, you need to download and install a VPN. Like my review so more people can see it.

For the past few days, Russian-speaking users of the Instagram* mobile application have been experiencing service disruptions due to the continuous download of the Russian language pack. During this time, users who interact with the platform through Android devices have managed to find ways to download the Instagram* app.

As for the problem, the most common problem is the inability to load the Instagram* app on a mobile device. When this happens, users see the error message “Please wait a moment. Installing the Russian language" or "An error has occurred. At the moment, it is not possible to set the Russian language for the Instagram* application. Please try again or use Instagram* in English."

According to reports, the problem with updating the application is not related to any specific device models, firmware version or operating system. Most often, you can solve the problem by translating the application into English or another language other than Russian. To do this, turn off the Internet on the device, launch the application, activate English in the settings, and disable updates. After that, you can activate the Internet connection and continue interacting with Instagram* after restarting the application. If this does not help, then it is recommended to use a VPN application or download and install one of the previous versions of Instagram* on your device, disabling automatic updates.

According to Downdetector, Instagram* users in Russia are also actively reporting service outages today, most often in the social network's mobile app. As for the geography of the problem, it affects users not only from the central part of Russia, but also from other regions.
