Can we watch Instagram Reels without Internet?
Yes, it is possible to watch Instagram Reels without an internet connection. While Instagram doesn’t offer a built-in feature for offline viewing, there are several methods you can use to download and save Reels for later viewing.
Different methods to view Reels Offline
1. Using Instagram’s Save Feature
Instagram allows you to save Reels within the app, which you can access later even without an internet connection:
1. Open the Instagram app and find the Reel you want to save.
2. Tap the three-dot icon on the Reel.
3. Select “Save” from the options.
4. To view saved Reels, go to your profile, tap the menu icon, and select “Saved”.
Note that this method requires you to open the Instagram app, but it doesn’t need an active internet connection to view saved Reels.
2. Reels Video Downloader App
Several third-party apps allow you to download Instagram Reels directly to your device. However, here’s a tested app known as Reels Video Downloader (couldn’t be more subtle in the naming I suppose) which you can use.
1. Install the Reels Video downloader app from Google Play store.
2. Copy the link of the Reel you want to download.
3. Open the downloader app and paste the link.
4. Download the Reel to your device’s storage.
One such app is Video Downloader for Instagram, available for both Android and iOS devices. It provides a user-friendly interface for downloading Instagram Reels.
3. Screen Recording
If you prefer not to use third-party apps, you can use your device’s built-in screen recording feature:
1. Start screen recording on your device.
2. Open Instagram and play the Reel you want to save.
3. Stop the screen recording.
4. The recorded Reel will be saved in your device’s gallery.
