You can download Instagram videos and pictures without having to install an app. It works just as well on a smartphone as it does on a computer. OkayGotcha shows you how to do it.
All you need to download an Instagram video is the link to the video and an app, browser extension or website that can download videos and images from Instagram . In this case, it doesn't matter whether you do this on your computer or on your mobile phone, whether you use Android or iOS.
Download Instagram videos with one app - iPhone and Android
The Instagram downloader apps for Android and iPhone all work in a similar way:
- Open Instagram and switch to a post with a video .
- At the top right, above the video, tap on the 3 dots to open the menu.
- Tap on " Copy link " in the menu . The link to the posting is transferred to the clipboard.
- Now open the Instagram video downloader app . There is usually an input field there. Some of these apps automatically insert the clipboard there, with others you have to do this manually.
- Then tap on the download button . In some cases you have to allow the app to access the images folder the first time.
Free apps in particular are financed through advertisements, so you have to endure an advertisement before the video download. If you have to do something like this on Instagram often, you should buy an ad-free app or download it on your PC in your browser.
