Instagram reels have become a highly popular alternative to TikToks, presenting bite-size short videos to watch in a vertical format. But were you aware that you could also download and save reels on your mobile devices? With Instagram’s recent update, downloading reels from the platform to your phone is now possible. To download reels, head to the share option for a reel when it is open and then click or top on the download button to save it to your device. This way, you can share reels with friends and family members, who are not on Instagram, on other platforms like WhatsApp.
