Instagram Reels: How to Download Clips Without Sharing Them

Keep videos so that you can share them elsewhere

While recording videos for Instagram Reels, it’s possible that you may record one or more clips that you want to keep but not necessarily share at this time. When this happens, you can download those clips to your device without sharing them to your feed. This will allow you to share the clips at a later time, even on other platforms. Our guide will show you how this is done.
