Frequently asked questions
Still have questions? Ping me on Twitter.
- Is SocialGrab free?
- Yes, completely. No ads, no in-app purchases, no premium tier. It's a personal project built to make saving Instagram videos painless.
- Does it work on private accounts?
- No. The app can only download content that's public on Instagram. Reels from private profiles and stories aren't supported.
- Will Instagram ban me?
- SocialGrab doesn't log into your account and doesn't hit the authenticated API. It reads the same public page any browser would — there's no ban risk.
- Why does it need photo library permission?
- To save the downloaded video. The permission is used only to write the mp4 into the SocialGrab album — the app never reads your other photos or videos.
- Where do the downloaded videos go?
- All of them land in an album named "SocialGrab" in your device's gallery. You can also see the history inside the app to reopen them quickly.
- What about TikTok / YouTube / Twitter?
- Instagram only for now (reels, posts, and IGTV). Other networks are coming — the architecture is already set up to plug in new extractors.
