How to save Videos from Instagram DM to Gallery? [1 minute read]

Like most other social media apps, Instagram too has direct messaging services, which in short is referred to as Instagram DM. But it’s far from perfect. It provides only the most basic functionalities compared to its peers. This article will discuss one such basic feature missing earlier in Instagram DMs: How to save Videos from Instagram DM to your gallery?

Instagram is notorious for restricting users from giving fundamental features. For example, earlier, you cannot officially save photos or videos sent to Instagram DM. Instead, you had to rely on 3rd party apps or use screenshots or screen recordings to save them on your gallery. Luckily, after all the complaints and feedbacks, Instagram finally listened and gave its users native support for saving photos and videos from Instagram DMs. You no longer have to use risky 3rd party apps anymore.

Another such feature is saving Instagram Reels in the gallery with music or any video posted by others. We’ve already solved that issue in one of our extensive guides on this topic.
