Instagram Reels is a very popular platform to share shot videos. Post an attractive reel and gain viewership simply by uploading a small video and adding trending music to it from the Instagram library. However, have you ever come across a situation where you try to share your reel with your friends, and only video is sent, and there is no audio attached to it? Then do not worry, as here we are going to see four simple ways how to download Instagram Reels with music.

In this article

Part 1: Can you download Instagram reels?

No Instagram reels from private accounts can be downloaded from Instagram directly. Besides, even for public accounts, only those reels that have been saved with the settings “Allow people to download my reels” can be downloaded from Instagram directly. So, yes, you can download Instagram Reels directly from the app, provided the creator has allowed the reel to be downloaded.

But even if the creator has not allowed downloading of the reels, there are alternative ways through which we can download Instagram reels with audio.

Part 2: How do you download Instagram reels with audio on your mobile device?

There are multiple ways to download Instagram reels with audio on your mobile. Here, we will discuss the two easiest options, which are directly accessible and don’t require additional application downloads.

Method 1: Using the built-in download feature

This is the best and the easiest method to download Instagram reels with music. Instagram has a built-in download feature. However, this is accessible only if the creator of the reel has used his public account and has allowed the reels to be downloaded. If this is the case, then downloading the reel with audio becomes a cakewalk. Following are the steps to download Instagram reels with audio from the Instagram app.

Step 1: Open the Instagram app and go to the reels.
