How to Download Instagram Reels on iPhone

  1. 1

    Copy the Reel link

    Open Instagram, find the Reel you want, tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the bottom right, then tap Copy Link.

  2. 2

    Paste the link above

    Tap the input field above and paste your link (or use the Paste button). Make sure it looks like instagram.com/reel/…

  3. 3

    Tap Download

    Hit the Download button. SaveReels will fetch the video and show you a preview with a download link.

  4. 4

    Save to Camera Roll

    The file downloads via Safari. Open the Files app, find the video, tap and hold → Save to Photos.

iPhone Tips

  • • Use Safari for the smoothest download experience on iPhone.
  • • After downloading, find the file in Files → Downloads.
  • • Long-press the video in Files and tap Save to Photos to add it to your Camera Roll.
  • • Only public Reels can be downloaded — private accounts are not supported.

Saving to Camera Roll via Photos App

After the video downloads in Safari, it lands in the Files app. Open Files > Downloads, tap the video file, then tap the Share icon and choose Save to Photos. The Reel will appear in your Camera Roll / Recents album right away. You can also AirDrop or share it from there.

iOS Limitations

Instagram does not provide a direct "Save to Camera Roll" button for most Reels inside the app. You cannot long-press and save natively without using a third-party tool or web downloader.

  • • Safari download manager is required for the file to be saved locally.
  • • You must manually move the file from Files to Photos using the Share sheet.
  • • Background downloads or auto-save to Camera Roll are blocked by iOS for privacy reasons.
  • • Only public Reels work — private or age-restricted content is unavailable.
  • Fix

    TikTok downloads fixed on mobile

    TikTok videos now download reliably as a clean MP4 on phones — the file is served through our own server instead of a raw CDN link that some mobile browsers refused to save.

  • New

    Share straight from any app (Android)

    In the Android app you can now tap Share on an Instagram or Facebook post and pick SaveReels — the link is filled in and the download starts automatically, no copy-paste needed.

  • New

    Instagram Stories & profile picture downloaders

    Enter any public username to save their active Stories or their full-size HD profile picture (DP) — anonymously, with no login.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download Instagram Reels on iPhone without an app?

Yes. Open the Reel in Instagram, tap the three-dot menu, and copy the link. Then paste it on SaveReels and tap Download. The video saves to your Files app, which you can then move to Photos.

Why can't I save Instagram videos directly from the app on iPhone?

Instagram does not include a native Save to Camera Roll option for most Reels. Third-party web tools like SaveReels let you download public videos by resolving the direct media URL.

How do I save a downloaded Reel to my iPhone Camera Roll?

After downloading, open the Files app, find the video, tap and hold it, and choose Save to Photos. It will appear in your Camera Roll immediately.

Does SaveReels work on iPhone Safari?

Yes. Open savereels.online in Safari, paste your Instagram Reel link, tap Download. The file will download through Safari's download manager.

Can I download private Instagram Reels on iPhone?

No. SaveReels only works with public content. Private accounts and private posts cannot be accessed.

Is there a limit on how many Reels I can download?

No limit. You can download as many public Reels as you want, one at a time.
