Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Copy the Reel Link from Instagram

In the Instagram app, find the Reel you want to download. Tap the paper airplane / Share button on the right side and select 'Copy link'.

2

Pro Tip: No watermark or Instagram UI overlays are saved on the video.

Why Does Instagram Remove Audio When You Save Directly?

If you try to save a Reel using Instagram's built-in 'Save to Camera Roll' feature, the app frequently strips copyrighted music tracks or displays a notification saying 'Audio removed due to licensing'.

By using AyFetch, the complete video stream containing the integrated stereo audio track is preserved in pristine quality.
