How to Download Instagram Photos to Your Device

Do you want to know how to download pictures from Instagram? Because Instagram doesn’t have a built-in feature for downloading other people’s photos, you’ll need to use third-party software or creative workarounds to accomplish the task.

You might not need to download an Instagram photo if all you want to do is look at it whenever you want. A built-in feature of Instagram allows you to compile a list of your most popular posts. This facilitates the bookmarking and unlimited viewing of images. The only drawback is that in the unlikely event that the author decides to remove the Instagram post, the picture will vanish from your saved images folder. However, this is not always the case.

How to transfer your Instagram photos to your phone:

Adding images that you’ve taken, filtered, and edited within the Instagram app to your phone’s photo library is a very simple process, thanks to Instagram.

Tapping the person-shaped icon at the bottom of the screen will take you to your profile when the Instagram app is open.

The three horizontal line menu icon at the top right of your screen should then be tapped.

Choose “Settings,” which is the first option at the top of the list, when the menu pops up. Subsequently, select “Account,” and lastly, select “Original Photos,” which will appear if you’re using an iOS device. “Original Posts” will be an option visible to Android users.

You may now choose to have your Instagram photos automatically saved by the Instagram app. Press the blue toggle labeled “Save Original Photos/Posts.”
All of the photos you upload to Instagram will now also be stored in the picture library on your phone because this option is enabled.

How to save Instagram pictures taken by other users:

Any Instagram photo or video may be easily saved to a private section of the app, so you can revisit them whenever it’s convenient for you. It’s also important to remember that when you save a post from someone, it won’t be visible to them, regardless of whether they follow you or not.

How to use your desktop browser to download Instagram photographs:

Instagram does not allow you to download other users’ photographs on an iOS or Android mobile device or on a desktop browser due to very legitimate copyright issues. Still, there’s a rather nefarious workaround that allows you to accomplish it using a desktop browser. Use this for good only.

Open any image on Instagram in a new tab in your browser to download it. To open a picture without being signed into your own Instagram account, right-click on it and choose “Copy Link Address.” Now, place your mouse or other input device close to the image and do a right-click. A menu will appear for you. Choose “View Source Page.”

Just the text that appears as the URL between the two speeches or quote marks should be copied. Copy and paste this URL into a new tab in your browser. When the image loads, you can download it to your computer by doing a right-click, just like you would with any other online photo.

After reading this quick tutorial, you should be able to save both your own Instagram photos and those from friends’ and other accounts you follow to your phone.
