At the time of publication, the feature is only available to users residing in the United States. The trend is that it will arrive in other countries soon. From now on, keep an eye on how it works, so you don't have any doubts when the time comes.
How are Instagram Reels downloaded?
To download, simply select the Reels 'share' icon and choose the 'download' option. It is not yet known whether the social network will use a watermark, like its rival, the TikTok.
Despite this, the image released by the CEO indicates the name of the user who posted it and the Instagram symbol. Notice below.
It will not be possible to download Reels from private accounts
Respecting users' privacy, Reels belonging to private accounts cannot be downloaded by other users.
That is, the person's profile needs to be visible, in public mode, so that other users can download the reels posted by them.
Now with the option to download reels, Instagram increases the competition it already has with TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
Emphasizing the dispute, Mark Zuckerberg already commented that time spent on Instagram increased by 24% thanks to Reels recommendations powered by the app's Artificial Intelligence.
Meta is no joke! From the same innovation point of view, features keep coming to your apps.
Finally, downloading Reels as an integrated function of Instagram will dispense with third-party applications, which are not always safe for users.
