Instagram finally lets you download Reels: that’s how it works

Instagram has added an interesting new feature to its app. Users now have the opportunity to download reels posted by others.

TikTok has been giving users the ability to download videos for several years now. It contains a TikTok watermark. As this watermark was often seen on other apps as a result, more and more people quickly got to know TikTok. So this possibility could have contributed to the huge popularity of the app.
