Instagram is the most popular social media platform on the internet. It has more than a billion monthly active users. It is being used by people of every age group. From teenagers to old age people. In 2012, it was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion dollars. There are many options on this platform using which users can share content with their friends and family. They can share content using photos, videos, reels, stories, and highlights. There are many restrictions on the website and mobile app of Instagram. In this article, we will explain how you can surpass some of the Instagram restrictions.
Restriction on Zooming Instagram Profile Picture
Every Instagram user has an Instagram profile and there is a profile image with it. Those profile images are shown in small size on both websites and their mobile app. There is no option to zoom that picture. So, Instagram users can use platforms like Instazoom to view Instagram profile pictures in full size. Users just need the username of the Instagram profile whose profile image they want to view and put that in the Instazoom app to enlarge that image on full screen.
Cannot Download Photos
Instagram was started as a photo-sharing app. Even today, millions of photos and videos are uploaded every day on Instagram. Photos are there in the Instagram feed, user profile, and stories. Instagram does not allow people to download photos from their platform. People who want to do so can do this by taking a screenshot using their mobile or desktop.
No Way To Save Instagram Videos
Today, videos are popular on each and every social media platform like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. There are many video formats that are available on Instagram. Short videos in Instagram feed which are of 60 seconds. IGTV videos are of long format and reels that can record videos for up to 30 seconds. Although, all these formats are very popular. Instagram does not allow you to download either of them. You just need the URL of the Instagram video and paste that in Instazoom to download that video in the local storage of your device.
Downloading Instagram Reels
Instagram reels are a major competitor to TikTok. These are short videos of 30 seconds. According to some studies, an average Instagram user views 10-15 reels in a day. These short videos are so attention-grabbing that people keep on watching one after the other. TikTok has a feature to download their videos from the app but Instagram has no such feature. Maybe Instagram will also introduce such a feature in the near future. But as of now, there is no such option.
Saving Instagram Stories
Instagram stories are more popular than Snapchat and WhatsApp Stories. Millions of people share their everyday moments on Instagram stories. Users can share both photos and videos on Instagram stories. Instagram does not have an option to let users download media content from their stories section. For the photos, people can take screenshots, but for the videos, there is no choice left with the users.
