To save your Reel to your phone, follow these steps:
1. Open the Instagram app on your phone.
2. Tap on your account icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to your profile page.
3. On your profile page, you will see a row of icons at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the Reels icon, which looks like a play button with a music note.
4. If you don’t see the Reels icon, tap on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner of the screen to open the menu. From the menu, select “View archive.”
5. This will take you to your Reels archive, where you can find all your previously published Reels.
6. Scroll through the archive and find the specific Reel that you want to save to your phone.
7. Once you’ve found the Reel, tap on it to open it.
8. On the bottom right corner of the screen, you will see three dots in a vertical line. Tap on these dots to open the options menu for the Reel.
9. From the options menu, select “Save” or “Save to Camera Roll,” depending on the available options on your phone.
10. Instagram will then save a copy of the Reel to your phone’s photo roll or gallery.
By following these steps, you can easily save your Reels to your phone and access them anytime, even when you’re offline or outside the Instagram app. This way, you can have a personal copy of your creative content and share it with others outside of the Instagram platform if you wish.
