What are some apps to download Instagram videos, reels and stories?

In general, the popular apps work similarly. First, you must access Instagram and choose the content you want to download. If you press on the three dots that appear next to the image, you will see the Share the link option.

Copy the link to your clipboard and go to the download app you choose, then paste the link. Click on the Download, or similar option, and the image or video will be saved directly on your mobile. Simple as that!

Two neat apps to try are FastSave and SuperSave.
