3 Tricks to Download Instagram Photos on any device

Instagram, the popular photo-sharing platform does not provide a way to save/download photos from it. But a lot of users would love an option to save Instagram Pictures. In this article, we will guide you on how to download photos from Instagram on Android/iOS/PC.

Instagram is a photo and video sharing social networking service developed by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. It debuted as an iOS exclusive service in 2010 but made way to Android and Windows in 2012 and 2016 respectively. It is currently a property of Facebook Inc and has more than 800 million users as of now.

Instagram is a great platform when it comes to sharing your photos with your audience but it has its own limitations. Instagram doesn’t allow downloading any pic from its native apps. This is what pisses off many of its users who want to use a photograph clicked by someone as their wallpaper or do any kind of similar stuff.
