How to download Instagram Reels with music on your phone: A quick and simple guide

Instagram Reels are a fun way to watch and share short videos — but saving them with their music can sometimes be tricky. Many users find that when they save a Reel, the sound is missing. If you want to download Instagram Reels with both video and audio so you can watch them offline or share them on WhatsApp Status, here are the best methods to do it on your phone.

Method 1: Save Reels through Instagram’s Story feature

One of the easiest ways:

• Open Instagram and play the Reel you want to save.

• Tap Share and add it to your Story.

• Before posting, tap on More options or the three dots.

• Tap the Save button.

• The Reel (with audio) will be saved to your phone’s gallery.

Method 2: Use the screen recording feature

Most phones now come with built-in screen recording, which can also save Reels with audio:

• On Android: Swipe down the notification panel and tap the Screen Record button.

• On iPhone: Swipe down from the top-right corner and tap the Record button.

• Play the Reel and let it record.

• Stop recording when finished — the video will be saved in your gallery.

If your phone doesn’t have a built-in recorder, you can install apps like AZ Screen Recorder or InShot to record your screen.

Method 3: Use dedicated apps for downloading Reels

Several apps are designed specifically to save Instagram Reels with sound:

• For Android: Apps like InstaSaver or Instagram Video Downloader.

• For iPhone: Apps like InSaver or Instdown.
  Steps:

  • Copy the Reel link (tap the three dots > Share > Copy Link).

  • Open the app, paste the link, and follow the on-screen instructions to save the video.

Method 4: Use Telegram bots

Telegram also has bots that help download Instagram Reels:

• Open Telegram and search for bots like Instagram Reel Download or Download Video.

• Start the bot and paste the Reel link you copied.

• The bot will send you the video file to download and save.

Tips to remember:

✅ Video quality may vary depending on the method you choose.
✅ Use these methods for personal use — respect the creator’s copyright.
✅ If using third-party apps or bots, choose trusted ones to avoid malware.
