Downloading Instagram Photos and Videos: How It Works
Instagram is an app that has grown in leaps and bounds since it was first launched exclusively on IOS in October 2010. The social networking site has literally fought its way into the hearts and lives of billions of people one picture at a time. Facebook recognized the direction the tide was flowing and paid an unprecedented 1 billion dollars for Instagram in 2012. Yeah, smart guys huh? Right now, Instagram is on almost everybody’s smartphone. Let’s have a test, shall we? If you are riding a public transport in any major city in the world, check around you, it’s very likely you will see a lot of the people around you on their Instagram apps scrolling away. As popular as the app is though, it has an annoying handicap- users are not allowed to download pictures or videos on Instagram (this is apparently due to copyright infringements). The best they can do is to take screenshots of the picture, but that comes with annoying borders and sometimes the pictures aren’t of good quality. Trust the tech community to come up with a solution, some enterprising individuals have quickly devised ways to overcome the handicap in the form of third-party apps. These apps help users to download content on Instagram directly just like you can do on Twitter.
