3. Download Offline Without Web & Apps
Finally, how to download Instagram videos directly on Android without having to go to the website or download additional applications is to take advantage of the file explorer feature that is always available on every smart phone, especially Android.
The download stage is also not complicated. Here’s the tutorial:
- First, enter the Instagram application.
- Select the video you want to download, watch it until it’s finished. Can watch several videos at once if you really want to download more than one video file.
- Quit the Instagram app or take advantage of the multi window or split screen feature for Android 7.0 Nougat, then access the file explorer.
- Click ‘internal storage’, then open the folder with the title ‘android’ > ‘data’ > ‘com.instagram.android’ > ‘chace’ and select the ‘video’ folder.
- Look carefully at the time—date & time—of the list of cached files listed. Choose the newest one because it means the video file that you just watched from the Instagram app.
- Change the file format to a video format, for example .mp4 or .3gp extension and save it.
- Try directly playing the converted file or opening it in the video player.
- If successful, the Instagram video is automatically saved on the Android device without the need to download via a website or application. But if it doesn’t work, then the file whose extension is changed is not the video that was previously watched.
