How To Download Instagram Data? Save Your Pictures And Stories Offline
After receiving a lot of backlash post the Facebook data breach debacle, Instagram has finally decided to follow Facebook’s footstep and it now allows users to download Instagram data from servers.
Instagram users will be able to export their photos, videos, saved stories, profile information, comments, direct messages as well as likes and searches through this new feature. However, the process can take a few hours to days to prepare this data for downloading.
Currently, the ‘Download Data’ feature is available only on the desktop version but this option will be soon rolled out to iOS and Android apps too.
