How to Save Photos and Videos from Instagram

Saving photos and videos from Instagram is possible using a few different methods. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to save photos and videos from Instagram:

Using Instagram’s Save Feature to Save Photos:

• Open the Instagram app on your mobile device (Android or iOS).
• Log in to your Instagram account if you haven’t already.
• Find the photo you want to save. This can be on your feed, someone’s profile, or in the Explore section.
• Tap on the photo to open it in full-screen view.
• Below the photo, you’ll find various icons. Look for the bookmark icon (a small flag or ribbon) and tap on it.
• The photo will be saved to your “Saved” collection, which you can access from your profile page.
• To access your saved photos, go to your profile and tap on the three-line menu icon (☰) at the top-right corner.
• From the menu, select “Saved” to view and access all your saved photos.

Using Screenshots (for personal use only):

• Log in to your Instagram account if you haven’t already.
• Find the photo you want to save and open it in full-screen view.
• Position the photo on your screen in a way that it is fully visible and not covered by any overlays or buttons.
• Take a screenshot of the photo using your device’s screenshot function. This is typically done by pressing a combination of physical buttons (such as the power button and volume down button) or using gesture-based controls.
• The screenshot will be saved to your device’s photo gallery or screenshots folder. You can access it through your device’s default photo gallery app.

Using Third-Party Apps or Websites to Save Photos from Instagram:
