Instagram has been adding a slew of new features and now the photo-sharing platform owned by Meta. Just like integration of the artificial intelligence and a new handful of tools, Instagram now finally allows users to download the Reels directly from the application. The users will not need any third-party websites.

Till now the users required a third-party website and were asked to copy-paste the link of the post and then after seeing some adverts, they were able to download the content. But in the special move, Meta has offered a dedicated downloading option in the application which will remove the one extra step and let the users download the video in high-resolution settings.
