Online services
One of the most convenient and easiest ways to download a video file to a PC or smartphone is through special sites. Unlike programs and extensions, they do not need to be installed—only the Internet and a browser are required. The service is always at hand, and if one of them stops working, you can immediately try another. Moreover, some services allow you to download media content from other popular sources (YouTube, TikTok and other videos available online).
Website for downloading videos from a computer
You can use one of the following services: igsaved.com, https://insta-stories-viewer.com/ and ru.savefrom.net. To download the video:
- Copy the link to the post.
- Go to igsaved.com (or other).
- Paste the link into the appropriate field and click “Download”.
- Wait while the system processes the request.
- Click on the “Download MP4” button and choose where to save the file.
Screen Recording
If downloading is not available for any reason, the video can be recorded directly from the screen. This is especially true for owners of iOS devices, since Apple regularly removes applications for downloading content. Starting with iOS 14, iPhone can record what's happening on the screen without any additional tricks. The method also works on Android - starting from version 11 of the operating system, video recording can be made without third-party applications. We wrote about this in detail in the guide “How to record a video from the screen: the best free methods.”
For iOS
To start screen recording on iPhone:
- - Call up the control center by swiping up and tap on the gray “REC” button.
- - Screen recording will start automatically after the countdown ends, so you have time to open the desired post.
- - To complete recording, go to the control center and tap on the red “Rec” button. The video will be saved in the application
- - If you need to start recording with sound, hold your finger on the icon until an additional menu appears. Activate the microphone, as the sound will be recorded from it.
For Android
The exact algorithm depends on the smartphone model. In its most general form, the procedure looks like this:
- Lower the top curtain by swiping down from the top edge of the screen.
- Tap the Screen Recording icon (if it's not there, you'll need to customize the panel view).
- A floating window will open with the REC button and parameters.
- To start or stop the process, tap the REC button.
- The video is saved in the gallery of your smartphone.
