Users can post videos on Instagram through Reels, posts, and even Stories. Prior to now, users could submit videos longer than 60 seconds using the IGTV function of the meta-owned photo and video sharing app. Users of Instagram can also save videos or pictures for later access. However, there isn’t a built-in option that allows you to download the videos and photos from your phone’s gallery. Only the images and videos users have shared on their profiles are available for download and storage. However, viewers can use websites and third-party apps to get these videos. Follow these easy instructions if you enjoyed a video and want to download it to your phone’s storage.
