Expanded Sharing Options
Previously, users had the option to share Reels on public profiles, Stories, or through direct messages. In addition, they could save Reels by accessing the saved Reels tab within the application. However, Instagram has now introduced a feature that enables users to share downloaded Reels on various other platforms as well.
Instagram now allows anyone to download public Reels
For public profiles on Instagram, any user has the ability to download and distribute reels, unless adjustments are made to the settings. Downloaded reels come with an Instagram watermark, username, and audio attribution, and should not be utilized for commercial purposes. The usage of downloaded reels is beyond Instagram’s control.
