When you watch videos on Android, they are automatically downloaded; all you have to do is find out where they are saved. You can also use a third-party app to download videos without first viewing them. Let’s look at both methods:

To get this to work, first, watch the video you want to download. Whatever segment you choose to watch will be downloaded. As a result, if you want the complete video, make sure you watch the entire video.
Next, open the File Manager on your phone and navigate to Android > data > com.Instagram.android > cache > videos. All of the videos you’ve watched will be listed here, with a clean extension. You can play them by tapping on them and selecting the video option.
Simply rename them and change the. clean extension to.mp4 if you want to convert them to an audio format. Please keep in mind that all of these videos are cached. These videos will be deleted if the phone cache is deleted. If you want to keep a video forever, you should move it to a different location.

When it comes to iOS, the options are very limited, but I know a good repost app that also downloads Instagram photos and videos. Regrammer is a free (ad-supported) app that allows you to download any video from Instagram to your iOS device.
It functions similarly to Video Downloader for Instagram. Simply copy and paste the video’s URL from Instagram into the Regrammer app. Then, tap Preview to open and download it. The video will be automatically saved to your camera roll, and you will be able to repost it.
Conclusion: To get your video, simply copy and paste the link. Although manual methods can be effective in some situations. For example, if you want to download videos from your video history, the manual Android phone method is an excellent choice.
