How to save Instagram Reels in Gallery with Music? [With and without 3rd party Apps]

This article will teach you how to save Instagram Reels in Gallery with Music so that you can share them with your friends or family via other platforms.

We all love using Instagram. It’s a great platform to share our favorite moments with our friends and family stylishly and most conveniently. The various filters and editing choices it offers to enhance your pictures to the next levels. Because of this simplicity and convenience, Instagram has become so huge that it sits with a whopping one billion-plus active users. It now provides entertainment to billions and a source of income to thousands of creators and influencers.

But with fast-moving technologies, our means of sharing memories have also changed. People nowadays like to share short clips of their happy moments with the world in the form of a video. One such platform that offers this feature is TikTok. It has become very successful with sharing 15 to 30 seconds short videos. So, to add to this experience and following the success of apps like TikTok, Instagram has launched its own short video sharing feature called Reels. It’s embedded in Instagram itself. With its already huge user base and following the Ban of TikTok in many counties like India, Reels caught people’s attention too quickly and is now one of the most successful short video sharing platforms.

Some days ago, It was raining, and I traveled on a train. I was sitting next to a window, and the view outside was too beautiful. I wanted to share the experience with my friends. So I decided to make a short video on Reels keeping a beautiful song as background music. I posted it on my timeline and decided to post it on my Whatsapp status as well. But then I noticed Instagram wouldn’t let you save the Video on your Gallery with the background music. After a bit of research, I figured out how you can do that, and here I am writing an article about it to help my fellow Reel users.

So, let’s learn how to save Instagram reels in Gallery with Music so that you can share them with your friends or family via other platforms. I will also share a trick to know how to save your Instagram Reels in Gallery without posting and with audio at the end of this article.
