FAQ

Questions about the app

Is the insta4dl app free?

Yes. The app is the same free service as the website – no subscription, no in-app purchases and no sign-up.

Why isn’t it in the App Store or Google Play?

insta4dl is a web app (PWA). Your browser installs it directly from our site, so there is nothing to approve in a store and it is always up to date. It looks and behaves like a normal app: its own icon, full-screen window and app switcher entry.

Is it safe? What permissions does it need?

It needs no permissions at all – no contacts, no photos access, no location and no notifications. It runs in your browser’s sandbox and never asks for your Instagram password.

How much space does it use?

Less than 1 MB. Downloaded videos and photos are saved by your browser to your normal Downloads folder (or Photos/Files on iPhone), exactly like on the website.

There is no “Install” button on my iPhone. What do I do?

Apple doesn’t allow install buttons on websites. Open insta4dl.com in Safari, tap the Share button and choose “Add to Home Screen”. On iOS 16.4 or later you can do the same from Chrome, Edge or Firefox via their Share menu.

Can I share a Reel from Instagram straight into the app?

On Android, yes: after installing, tap Share on any post or Reel in Instagram, choose “insta4dl” and the download starts by itself. On iPhone, tap Share → Copy link, open the app and tap Paste.

Does it work offline?

The app opens offline and shows a friendly screen, but downloading needs an internet connection because the media comes from Instagram.

How do I update or uninstall it?

Updates are automatic – every time you open the app you get the latest version. To uninstall, remove it like any other app: long-press the icon on your phone, or use the app’s menu on a computer (see the guide above).

Prefer the website?

Everything works right here in your browser too – no install needed.
