Instagram is heaven for all those people who love short-form content. There are Insta stories in which you get to watch up to 15 seconds of video content or simple pictures. Same with reels, where you can create and update clips for up to one minute. Besides that, Reels are so popular that you can endlessly scroll through videos and you will not see the same clip popup again.
However, there is no option to locally save anything you see on Instagram for offline use. Instead, you get an in-app “Saved” feature where you can choose the content you want to watch later and create a library there. Plus, you cannot share that content with your friends, family, or anyone else.
