Ever since Instagram opened the floodgates to media beyond still images, the platform has become a prime location for watching videos. From insightful tutorials to funny moments captured on camera, there’s a plethora of content for you to discover. But what if you love a video so much that you want to save it and rewatch it? Luckily, there are a variety of ways on how to download Instagram videos, both within the app and on your iPhone.
In this guide, we’ll go over everything you need to know on how to download video from Instagram.
Now, before you get too excited and have a free-for-all downloading videos from Instagram, you should really make sure you have enough free space. Videos are typically big files. So, the more you want to download, the more space you’ll need on your iPhone.
The good news is, most of the storage on your iPhone is taken up by the photos and videos you already have. And thankfully, there’s an app that can help you clean up the photos and videos you don’t really need: Gemini Photos.
Once you download Gemini Photos from the App Store, it will scan your phone for duplicate, similar-looking, and even blurry pictures. Then, it will help you quickly get rid of them. Here’s how to use the app:
Now, you can tap Similar > Your Library at the top to go through the other categories and keep decluttering your phone.
You should remember that Gemini Photos only moves your pictures to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app. Which means they’re still taking up space on your phone for the next 30 days. So, if you want to remove them immediately, just open the Photos app and tap Albums > Recently Deleted > Select > Delete All.
Maybe you love a video so much you want to show it to a friend — or maybe you just don’t have time to sit through the whole thing right now. You’ll be pleased to learn that saving an Instagram video for later is easy thanks to the app’s Collections feature.
Instagram Collections is an in-app feature that allows users to bookmark content like posts and IGTV videos from other users to view later.
You can even organize your saves into Collections folders to make them easier to find.
While it is possible to save your own posts in Collections, this feature is primarily meant for saving content from other accounts. You can only save content from public accounts or private accounts that have accepted your follow request.
Here’s how to save an Instagram video post into your Collection:
Following those steps will save content to your Collections. Here’s how to find it once you’re ready to view it again:
From there, you’ll see all the content you’ve saved. If you wish to create a new folder within your Collection, simply press the + icon at the top-right of the screen.
While you can save your videos to Collections, you can also save them via your Archive.
The Archive is an in-app feature that allows users to remove posts from their profile and save them to a private folder that only they can see. It’s also a place to store Stories after they’ve exceeded the 24-hour lifespan on your profile and Stories feed.
Luckily, you don’t have to save these manually; you just have to make sure the Save Story to Archive feature is turned on. Here’s how to do that:
From there, your videos, photos, and posts will all be automatically saved to your Archive.
If you don’t want to store your favorite content in the app, you can use one of the following methods to download Instagram videos directly to your device instead.
While many users shoot their content with their device’s default camera app, others use Instagram’s in-app camera, especially when creating Stories. If you want to make sure those videos are saved to your iPhone, follow the instructions below:
After you turn this feature on, all videos and photos you take with the Instagram feed camera will automatically be saved to your iPhone’s camera roll.
The feature mentioned above will only save content from Instagram’s feed camera. To save videos taken with the Stories camera, you have to turn on a separate setting.
Here’s how to do that:
Following those instructions will download all your Story videos automatically. But if you only want to download one current Story, here’s how:
Doing this will add the video to your Camera Roll.
At the time of this writing, there is no way to download someone else’s Instagram video to your iPhone within the Instagram app. However, there’s an easy way to work around that issue: iPhone screen recording.
Before we dive into how to record a video posted on another account, it’s important to note that saving and reposting someone else’s content without their consent is a violation of copyright law. If you want to make sure you’re protected, get the original user’s written permission first.
Now that we’ve covered the legality around this option, here’s how to record (and save) someone else’s Instagram video:
Otherwise, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen.Now, you might want to trim the beginning and the end of your recording or crop out the top and bottom where the Story controls were. Here’s how to do that:
From there, your newly saved video will be stored in your Camera Roll.
Unfortunately, this feature is only available for those with iOS 11 or later, or an iPadOS. However, there are third-party apps that can help you download an Instagram video if your iPhone doesn’t support screen recording.
There are multiple third-party apps and tools you can use to copy and download Instagram videos. But for the purpose of this guide, we’ll show you how to save a video using the free app Instake.
Here’s how to use it:
After you follow these steps, the video will be saved in your Camera Roll.
With videos becoming more and more prominent on Instagram, the ability to save content is a useful feature to keep in your back pocket. Luckily, Instagram and other third-party tools make this easier than ever.

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.

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 .

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.

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

Therefore, I recommend him. Next we will do everything step by step…

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 .

This is due to the fact that Facebook has completely bought Instagram, and it is on its servers that all user photos are located. nine0006
There are dozens of sites on the Internet that allow you to save a photo from the Instagram social network to your computer without any problems. Such services can be arranged in different ways:
A striking example of such a resource is Webbygram.
