Download Instagram videos straight to your Photos
Tap the button below. It copies the shortcut code to your clipboard.
✅ Copied! Now do step 2.
Open the Shortcuts app → tap + (top right) → tap "Add Action".
Search for and add these 3 actions one by one:
Search for JavaScript → tap "Run JavaScript on Web Page".
You'll see a text box with placeholder code. Tap inside it, select all (or delete everything), then long-press → Paste the code you copied in step 1.
Tap "Add Action" again → search for Get Contents → tap "Get Contents of URL".
Inside this action, you'll see a blue "URL" word. Tap it. The keyboard appears — don't type anything. Instead, look above the keyboard for a small blue pill icon (variable picker). Tap it → tap "Run JavaScript on Web Page" from the list.
💡 This connects the video URL from the JavaScript to the download action. The blue "URL" text should change to "Run JavaScript on Web Page".
Tap "Add Action" again → search for Save → tap "Save to Photos" (on older iOS: "Save to Photo Album").
Don't change anything inside it. Just add it.
