How to download Instagram photos or videos to iPhone


Instagram has a fantastic community of photographers, with some of them more gifted than others. Every once in a while, I’ll see a photo or video on Instagram that I want to save to my iPhone for later viewing, or simply because I find it interesting.
The problem is Instagram doesn’t let you save photos or videos from within the app. I’m not completely sure why this isn’t an option, but I’d argue that copyright laws may have something to do with that, along with the fact that Instagram wants you to use the app rather than download photos directly to your iPhone.
With that said, there are of course ways you can download Instagram videos or photos to your iPhone. While using jailbreak tweaks is an option, we’ll focus on App Store apps that allow you to save content from Instagram to your iPhone.

How to save photos and videos from Instagram

There are literally dozens of apps in the App Store that let you save photos and videos from Instagram to your iPhone. The good news is most of them are free. The bad news is they usually contain in-app purchases, tons of ads, and aren’t always the best looking apps. But whatever works…
I’ve gone through several of them, and I keep coming back to the same one as it seems to offer the best experience. In this post, I will show you how to save photos and videos from Instagram using Instagrab.
Step 1: Download Instagrab for free, and launch the app.
Step 2: Login to Instagram using your username and password. Note that the login is done on Instagram’s website, so theoretically, you don’t have to worry about the app having access to your credentials.
Step 3: You will then see all the photos and videos that are in your Instagram feed. Simply select the photo or video you want to download to your iPhone.


Step 4: Tap on the Share icon at the bottom right corner of the screen, and select Save.

The photo or video will download to your Camera Roll.

The best thing about getting a new computer is that, well, you’re getting a brand new computer. It’s exciting to have a shiny new toy to play with, making you wonder how you could have been using that old machine for so long. To me though, the major downside of getting a new computer is that you have to set it all up from scratch. I’m not going to lie; some of that is part of the fun, but it can also be stressful and time consuming. Take migrating your iTunes library to your new computer for example.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to save you time or stress, but at least, you’ll have simple instructions on how to do transfer all your iTunes songs, albums, album covers, and playlists to a brand new computer.
