Instagram questions

Can I download reels from private accounts?

No. Tapesnag only opens public posts, the ones anyone can see without signing in.

Can I download Instagram stories?

Stories only show to signed-in accounts, so the website can't open them. The Tapesnag app for Android can: you sign in to Instagram inside the app, and the sign-in stays on your phone.

What about posts with several videos?

A post with more than one video shows a list. Pick the one you want and download it.

Can I save just the audio of a reel?

Yes. Load the link, open the Audio tab, and pick MP3 or M4A.

Does the account owner see that I downloaded their reel?

No. Instagram doesn't tell anyone, and Tapesnag doesn't sign in to any account.

Tapesnag for Android

YouTube too: search, play and save videos and music, whole playlists at once, downloads that keep going in the background. Free, no account.
