If you see a nice photo on Instagram, you may also want to be able to save it every now and then. Of course you can take a screenshot on your phone or tablet, but that is somewhat cumbersome. It's easier to download an app that allows you to download photos directly from Instagram. How to save an Instagram photo.
There are several apps that you can use to save photos from other accounts on Instagram. You can have your own photos saved automatically as soon as you post them on Instagram. To do this, go to your profile and select the three lines at the top right. Select settings under 'Original messages' you can check the options to save posted photos and videos on your device.

Legally?
In principle, for privacy reasons, but also from a copyright perspective, it is not the intention to massively download photos from other users.
