If you want to save Instagram photos you can either take screenshots or create collections. We explain both.
Instagram is a brilliant service for seeing some of the best images available around the web. Whether it’s pro photographers sharing their latest creations or friends posting snaps of their holidays, you can lose yourself for hours in the app. Should you want to keep some of these images for yourself, there’s always the option to take a screenshot, but will Instagram alert the creator that you’ve made a copy of their post? Yes. There are no restrictions on the Instagram app for taking screenshots of anything you can see in your feed. If you have screen-capture software for video, then you can also record Stories without the person who posted them ever knowing you even looked at it. Of course, the same is true for your own content, so be sure that whatever you share you’re happy for other people to own. If you want to try the same approach on another popular photo-messaging service, read our guide on how to screenshot Snapchat without being seen.
