Instagram has just announced an important new video upgrade. The social network (and Threads) boss Adam Mosseri posted to his broadcast channel this week that a feature previously only available to US users is now rolling out worldwide.
The new feature enables you to save reels to your camera roll so you can watch them at any time, and appears as a new Download option in the mobile app's share button. It's available on public accounts only, and there are some exclusions: creators can choose to opt out of downloads for specific posts or for their entire account, and the feature is switched off by default for any account owners aged under 18. You'll still be able to save such reels to your collection, but you won't be able to download them if the account creator doesn't want you to.
