Instagram finally<\/em> allows you to download reels from public accounts now. But of course, there’s a catch: You won’t always be able to download reels with audio (due to licensing issues), and all of your downloaded reels will have an annoying moving watermark. But assuming the reel doesn’t have copyrighted audio attached, you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite Instagram videos without using the app first.<\/p>\n

This feature is enabled by default, but you can stop people from downloading your reels if you want. <\/p>\n

How to download Instagram reels<\/h2>\n

The download process itself is pretty simple. Go to any public Instagram account on your Instagram app and open a reel. Tap Share<\/strong>, then Download<\/strong> near the bottom of the screen. You may see a pop-up telling you the reel will be downloaded without audio, but otherwise, the download should begin immediately. When the process is complete, you’ll find the Instagram reel saved in your phone’s photo library.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that older reels cannot be downloaded using this feature. You’ll only be able to download reels that were posted after Instagram enabled downloads.<\/p>\n

Stop people from downloading your reels<\/h2>\n

Instagram allows you to stop people from downloading your reels, too. Once you’ve completed recording and editing your reel on the Instagram app, navigate to More options > Advanced settings<\/strong>, then disable Allow people to download your reels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can also turn your Instagram account private to stop others from saving your reels, but if you like keeping a public account, that’s likely a step too far.<\/p>\n

Download Instagram reels without watermarks<\/h2>\n

If Instagram’s official download feature’s restrictions are dealbreakers for you, there are alternative ways to get the job done. We’ve got you covered with all the easiest ways to download Instagram reels without watermarks and with the music<\/a>. On your iPhone, you can use the Shortcuts<\/a> app paired with the Instagram Download<\/a> shortcut, while on Android, you can use a third-party app<\/a>.<\/p>\n
