In this blog post, we will guide you through a step-by-step process on how to save Instagram Reels.

Step 2: Find the Reel
Next, locate the Instagram Reel you want to save. You can do so by scrolling through your feed, searching for a specific user, or exploring the Reels tab.
Step 3: Save the Reel
Once you find the Reel you want to save, tap on the three dots (…) located at the bottom of the Reel. A set of options will appear. Tap on the “Save” option. The reel is now saved to your collection.
Step 4: Access Saved Reels
To access your saved Reels, go to your profile and tap on the three horizontal lines at the top-right corner. Tap on “Saved” from the menu that appears. You will see your saved Reels under the “All Posts” tab.

How to Save Instagram Reels to Your Device
If you want to save Instagram Reels to your device for offline viewing, there’s a workaround. You will need to record your screen while the Reel is playing. Both iOS and Android have built-in screen recording features.
On iOS, you can add the screen recording feature to your Control Center by going to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls > and then add Screen Recording. Once added, you can start screen recording by swiping up from the bottom of your screen (or swiping down from the top-right corner on iPhone X and newer) and pressing the record button.
On Android, the process may vary depending on the device you have. Generally, you can find the screen recording option in the notification shade or in your device’s settings.
Remember to respect copyright and privacy laws when saving and sharing Instagram Reels.
Now that you know how to save Instagram Reels, you will never miss out on your favorite content. Happy saving!
