Overview

• Instagram has rolled out the ability for all users worldwide to download public Reels to their devices, a feature previously limited to US mobile users.
• Downloaded Reels will carry an Instagram watermark with the account's username, similar to TikTok's video downloading feature.
• Reels with licensed music will have their audio stripped in the downloaded version, while those with original tracks will retain their audio.
• Users have the ability to prevent their Reels from being downloaded by toggling off the option in the Privacy settings.
• Reels posted by Instagram users under 18 with public accounts will have the download option disabled by default, but they can manually enable it.
