The useful details
Before you save.
The exact prompts and download location can vary by iOS and browser version.
If Paste cannot access the clipboard
Browsers may ask for clipboard permission or prevent the Paste button from reading it. Press and hold inside the link field and use the system Paste command instead; the downloader does not need your Instagram login.
Files versus Photos
An MP4 may be stored in Safari’s Downloads location rather than appearing in Photos. Open the Files app and check Downloads; how you move or share the file depends on your iOS version and browser settings.
Photos, carousel items and covers
A single public post link can return more than one available card. Choose Download photo for an image or Download video for an MP4. Save cover is a still image, not a copy of the video.
Limits on public links
Laqta cannot retrieve private posts or Stories and may be unable to load restricted or unavailable content. Video, resolution, sound and a separate M4A option depend on the files Instagram provides.
Save responsibly
No downloader app or Instagram sign-in is needed. Only save content you own or are allowed to download, and obtain further permission before reusing someone else’s work.
