Can I Save Other People's Pictures from Instagram?

Generally speaking, you can save other people’s photos and videos on Instagram. However, the Save button on Instagram is not used to download the content but to save the pictures to the Saved collection. You can find your Saved pictures by opening the Instagram settings and going to the Saved folder.

If you mean whether you can directly download pictures from other people’s Instagram posts, there is no download button on Instagram. Instagram respects creators’ copyright and privacy so it does not provide a built-in feature for photo or video downloading. However, Instagram offers a feature that can automatically save the posted photos and videos to your device.

Although there is no direct way to download pictures from Instagram, there are 3 workarounds you can try on your iPhone – utilizing the Notes app, third-party tool, and screenshotting. The detailed steps will be given to you in the next part.
