Polls are added on Instagram Stories

Video has become one of the most used formats on social networks. Every time we see how they happen more possibilities when uploading videos on networks like Instagram, which even has a new video platform. Also in other social networks such as Facebook or Twitter it has a leading role. Although one of the problems that users face is how to download these videos that have been uploaded on the social network.

We have recently shown you the way we can download Twitter videos. Now it is the turn to do the same with Instagram. The social network of photos is leaving more and more space for videos, and there may be one that you liked and you want to have it on your computer or phone saved.

Instagram does not give us a native tool that allows us to download these videos that other users upload. So we are forced to resort to third-party tools to be able to get hold of them. Fortunately, the selection of these tools has expanded dramatically over time. So it is getting easier.
