Hi @andyt683, that’s a great question! It’s definitely smart to back up content you value. While Instagram doesn’t offer a direct download feature for Highlights, there are a few workarounds. One of the simplest methods is to use a third-party app or website specifically designed for downloading Instagram content. A quick web search for “Instagram Highlight Downloader” will reveal several options; just be cautious and choose reputable sites to avoid security risks.

Option 1: Using a Website (Generally Easier)

1. Find a reputable Instagram Highlight Downloader website: Do some research and choose a site with good reviews and a clear privacy policy.

2. Copy the profile URL: Go to the Instagram profile with the Highlight you want to download and copy the profile URL from your browser’s address bar.

3. Paste the URL into the downloader: Paste the profile URL into the designated field on the downloader website.

4. Select the Highlight: The website should display the available Highlights. Choose the one you want to download.

5. Download: Click the download button. The Highlight should download as a video file to your computer or phone.

Option 2: Using a Mobile App (If you prefer a mobile solution)

1. Find a reputable Instagram Highlight Downloader app: Search the Apple App Store or Google Play Store for an “Instagram Highlight Downloader” app. Be sure to read reviews before downloading to ensure it is trustworthy.

2. Copy the Highlight URL: Open the Instagram app, navigate to the Highlight you want to download, tap the three dots at the bottom right corner, and select “Copy Link.”

3. Paste the URL into the app: Open the downloader app and paste the copied link into the designated field.

4. Download: Tap the download button within the app. The Highlight will be saved to your phone’s gallery or downloads folder.

Important Considerations:

Privacy: Only download Highlights from public profiles or profiles you follow with their permission. Downloading content without consent could violate copyright or privacy.

Security: Be very careful when using third-party apps or websites. Some may contain malware or attempt to steal your Instagram login credentials. Always double-check the URL and read reviews before using any new service.

Quality: Download quality may vary depending on the tool you use. Some free tools might compress the video, resulting in lower resolution.
