What You Need
- An Android phone with the Instagram app.
- Chrome (or any browser) and access to iGram.ink.
- Enough free storage for the video.
How to Download Instagram Videos on Android — Step by Step
Copy the Video Link
Open Instagram and find the video. Tap the Share icon or the three dots, then tap "Copy Link". On a computer, copy the URL from the address bar.
Paste the Link into iGram.ink
Go to iGram.ink, paste the link into the input field, and tap "Download". The tool will fetch the available download options.
Save the File
Tap the download button next to the quality you want. Chrome saves the video and shows a notification when it finishes.
Where to Find the Video
Open your Gallery or Photos app and check your recent items. If it is not there, open the Files app and look in Downloads. You can move the video to Movies or DCIM so it appears in your Gallery.
