How to download Instagram Reels and Twitter videos on Android

Instagram and Twitter are two completely different social media platforms but have one thing in common. It is users sharing funny, interesting, and creative videos on a regular basis. Some of the videos can be so fun that you want to save them on your device to show others or even for personal purposes, like as an inspirational idea for something that you are working on.

None of these platforms allow you to download videos natively but there are third-party tools that can help you with that. In this tutorial, we will talk about an app called VideoMate that works as a universal tool to download videos from various platforms. It is a free, ad-supported app but ads are shown in a way that user experience is not affected.

Note: We also have a tutorial on how you can download TikTok videos without the watermark.
