Two ways to save Instagram photos on the reel

Instagram is one of the social networks of the moment. It has recently reached the 300 million monthly users, surpassing Twitter, which gives us an idea of ​​the great growth that this network is experiencing. The ability to share images quickly and easily, giving the option to retouch them in a few seconds, is a great attraction for many young people (and not so young) around the world.

If you are a user of this network, it is likely that you have ever seen an image uploaded by another user and that you have wanted to save it in your roll of photos to share it with your friends later or simply because it really catches your attention and you want to have it stored. Until now, the solution to this was simply to take a screenshot and crop it later to keep only the part of the image. However, there are a few methods to save these images. In a direct way on our reel.

If we have jailbreak

Is there really something that we can't do right now through a tweak? Many take the jailbreak as a great solution to their problems, and the truth is that it is partly so. In this case, by installing Savegre. This tweak can be found in the official BigBoss repo in Cydia and it will be implemented automatically when downloaded, without any additional configuration. All we have to do to download the images once inside the Instagram app is to press the ellipsis button, which will display the default menu of actions, with the exception that now we will find the "Save" button, which will allow us to send that image to the iPhone reel.

If we do not have jailbreak 

At the end of last year we saw an application appear in the App Store that made our lives easier and that for many became the best app of the year. Under the name of Workflow, this app allows us to perform a large number of actions or workflows that we ourselves can add, create, and modify. One of them will allow us to perform this function (and many others) without the need to jailbreak our device. To do this, we must perform the following steps.

• Add to our library the workflow that you can download from the this link.
• Once we have it in our list of actions, we must go to the Instagram application and, using the same button as in the previous case, we will give the option «Copy URL».
• Then, we go to Workflow and execute the action that we have downloaded.

When we do this, we will see that a menu is displayed with different actions and extensions with the options available to perform with the image. If we want to send it to the reel, just hit "Save Image".

With these two options, the problem we have when wanting to save an image from Instagram is solved. Although it is true that at first it may seem longer than taking a screenshot and then cropping the resulting image, in the long run they will seem much faster and more intuitive these actions.
