It’s absolutely insane that you cant download images from the Instagram app. Legacy social media is digging its own grave.

Instagram has always been shit.

I would be surprised if someone hasn’t already made an app or extension to do it.

I just use the ol reliable: screenshot.

I feel like Apple anticipates from other apps or places limits in iOS. For example I cannot highlight text in so many places now, but hey I can take a screenshot then iOS finds the text and then I can highlight copy/pasta. Why all the extra steps 🙄

You cant even do it on the web app

WTF? So blocked like Netflix?

Oh nvm didn’t realize you were talking about screenshots

Looks like you can download your images from the Instagram app, or am I misunderstanding?

No you’re correct. I think he missed that we were discussing screenshots

Sorry, I responded to the wrong thread. I was just saying that you can download all of your images in bulk. But not one by one. You can also download it from the browser, but you can’t just right click — you need to inspect the code to get the image link which is a pain.

Yeah that’s what i mean, you should be able to just right click save

Too many threads 🤣🫣

Not other peoples though

😂 screenshot app is trustworthy than anything else

Wish it was a feature, been using Inspect Element so far and finding the source through that

And it’s insane that you have to do that on the world’s largest photo sharing app. It’s intentional. They want to own your content.

Funny how oblivious people are to all of this 💜 Guess people loving the product, as long as they can get a sliver of dopamine

love being*

there was an option earlier to save your own if i’m not mistaken
