Having your reels saved directly to your phone's local gallery makes sharing with friends on messaging apps quick and easy. Follow this simple guide.
Android Gallery Mapping
Downloads from Chrome automatically go to the "Downloads" folder, which is monitored by your photo gallery app. You can find them under the downloads album.
iPhone camera Roll Mapping
iPhone users should open the downloaded file inside Safari downloads, tap share, and choose "Save Video" to send it to the Photos app camera roll.
Troubleshooting & FAQ Checklist
- Is the video set to private? Our scraper only supports public links. If the user profile is private, the download will fail.
- Did the download link expire? Social CDN URLs contain temporary tokens. If a download doesn't start, reload the page and re-paste the URL.
- Low storage/Files app on iOS: iPhone users must download via Safari, then choose 'Save Video' from Safari's download menu.
