With over 500 million users worldwide, Instagram is by far the most popular photo sharing app on Android. Internet users around the world post no less than 70 million photos every day. You probably wondered one day if it was possible to save photos from the Instagram app on your smartphone. Do not search anymore. We have the answer..
Instagram bookmarks
For the past few months, Instagram has offered the possibility of saving photos and videos published by other members of the network. This system is reminiscent of that of bookmarks available on internet browsers. The content is not strictly speaking saved on your smartphone.
It is actually a huge sticky note in which is stored all the links pointing to your favorite photos. You can then consult them as many times as you want from your Instagram profile..
- Open the Instagram app
- Select the photo you want to keep in the bookmarks section
- Click on the bookmark icon
The photo or video is now stored in the Instagram application. Then simply click on the bookmark icon to access it. Important detail, the Instagram backup tool has no limitation. You can save as much content as you want.
Finally last thing. The author of the publication will not receive any notification to notify him that you have just bookmarked one of his publications. Likewise the list of your bookmarks is completely private. This will prevent other Instagram members from accessing your saved content..
Download photos from Instagram directly to your smartphone
The solution described above has many restrictions. For example, it is impossible to view photos offline. The consultation can only be done from the Instagram application.
If you want to save the photos and videos of other Instagram members directly to your phone memory, you will need to go through a third-party application
This tool will allow you to retrieve photos, videos but also hashtags and descriptions associated with each of the publications. The recorded content can then be viewed in your photo gallery or shared with other applications (social networks, messaging, etc.)
