As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, downloading videos from social media platforms like Instagram's Reels without proper authorization or permission from the content owner could potentially violate the platform's terms of use and copyright laws. It's important to respect content creators' rights and the platform's policies.
If you're trying to save or share a Reel video for personal use or with the creator's permission, here's how you can do it:
*1. Use the Instagram App:*
Open the Instagram app on your mobile device.
Find the Reel video you want to download.
Tap on the three dots (...) at the bottom-right corner of the post.
If the user has allowed sharing or downloading, you might find a "Save" option. If not, you won't be able to download it directly from the app.
*2. Using a Screen Recorder:*
You can use a screen recording app to record the video while it's playing on your screen. Keep in mind that the quality might not be as good as the original video.
Install a screen recording app from your device's app store.
Play the Reel video and simultaneously start the screen recording.
Once the recording is complete, you'll have a video file of the Reel.
*Remember:*
Always respect copyright and intellectual property rights. If the content creator has explicitly prohibited downloading or sharing their content, it's important to honor their wishes.
Please note that the steps and methods mentioned here might have changed after my last update, and different platforms might have implemented new measures to prevent unauthorized downloading. Always ensure you are following the platform's terms of use and respect the rights of content creators.
