But if you want to save an Instagram video and download it on your phone, there are a few ways to do it.
Instagram makes it easy to save and download videos from your story. However, if you've created a video post, there's no longer an option in the three-dot menu to save it directly to your camera roll. Instead, you can save it to your Instagram Collections, record your screen to capture it, or download it with a third-party app.
Here's how to save and download any Instagram video on your iPhone or Android phone.

Whether you want to save and download an Instagram video post, story, or reel, you can easily do so with the help of a third-party app.
Download Instagram videos on Android
1. Get the app Video Downloader for Instagram from the Google Play Store.
2. Go into the Instagram app. On the video post you want to save, tap the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner.
3. In the pop-up, click "Copy Link." Then, go into the Video Downloader for Instagram app and paste the link to begin the download.
Download Instagram videos on iPhone

2. Open the Instagram app on your iPhone. On the video post you want to save, tap the three-dot icon and select "Copy Link" in the pop-up menu.
3.
Paste the link into the Blaze app, select download, and choose the option to save the video to your camera roll.
You can also record your phone screen on iPhone or Android to save an Instagram video.
If you have an iPhone, you can record your screen from the Control Center. If you have an Android 11, you can record your screen by accessing the Quick Settings list.
If you have an Android that predates Android 11, screen recording is only possible through a third-party app, such as AZ Screen Recorder.
Important: If you download an Instagram video and share it later, make sure you give the original account proper credit. It's poor practice and potential copyright infringement if you steal someone else's video and pretend it's your own.

Now almost every iPhone owner has an Instagram account. Even if you don’t like to post personal photos for everyone to see, you definitely love to spy on others.
I myself am, and there is not a single photo on my instagram, although I follow many of my friends, as well as some profiles that are just interesting to watch ... for example labuten_vsemy_golova . nine0003
Sometimes you come across such interesting posts that you want to keep them as a keepsake or share them with friends. Unfortunately, there is simply no built-in function for saving content from Instagram to the media library, which is why I will tell you today how you can save photos and videos from Instagram on iPhone .
Instagram content is presented in the form of photos and videos. Come on! What didn't you know? That's why I decided to split this article into two parts... The first is about the photo, the second is about the video. nine0003
Instagram static images can be saved in at least two ways. The first way is to take a screenshot of the screen with the photo displayed on it. Don't know how? Well then here's a step by step guide for you:
STEP 1 - Open Instagram and go to the photo page
STEP 2 - Press the Home and Power buttons at the same time (just press and release, no need to hold anything). The screenshot has been taken… the blinking screen and the sound effect of the camera shutter will tell you about it. nine0003
STEP 3 - Screenshot has been placed in Library on your iPhone.
STEP 4 - If you don't want to see Instagram frames around the photo, you can crop them in edit mode (see pictures below).
Unfortunately, this method is only suitable for saving photos. You can't save a video from Instagram to your iPhone this way. But there is a more advanced way, which I will talk about right now ...
So, here we come to the most interesting part of this article. Now you will learn how you can save photos or videos from Instagram to iPhone or iPad. For this we will use the InstaGrab app from the AppStore.
In fact, there are more than a dozen such applications in the AppStore, and they all have consonant names like InstaSave, InstaDown, Repost for Instagram or InstaGrab. All applications have similar functionality, and differ in the amount of stuffed with ads. nine0003
The InstaGrab app (by Jinxin He) has minimal ads and works quite well. Therefore, I recommend him. Next, we will do everything step by step…
STEP 1 – Download and install Instagrab (AppStore link) on your iPhone
STEP 2 – Go to Instagram and select a video or photo to save to iPhone
STEP 3 – Next click on the ellipsis in the right corner above the video / photo and select " Copy link " from the menu that opens.
STEP 4 - Next, launch the InstaGrab application.
STEP 5 - The application will immediately pick up the link you copied earlier and ask you if you can download this media file to your iPhone. Click Download , after which the video / photo will be saved to the media library of your i-device.
Well, something like this… Nothing complicated at all. If you suddenly do not find the application that I used, look in the AppStore for a similar request. Applications for saving videos from Instagram are a dime a dozen ... Even if not all of them work perfectly, but they perform their function.
That's it. Don't forget to like in one of the social networks. For me it is really very important!
