If you choose 'iCloud Drive', photos and the Upon first running of the shortcut, you will he asked to choose which storage location you'd like media saved ('iCloud Drive', 'Photos', or 'Don't Store, Share Only'). This is the reason for being able to download public and private media via the new methods implemented in the shortcut and also reason the shortcut has been reduced in action count. The reason that Scriptable is needed / used now is due to the ability to store user cookies between sessions in the app. An example script can be copied from this location and pasted into a new script in the scriptable app.Īfter you run it, the app should then work without issue to help in downloading Instagram media via the shortcut. If you run into an error that mentions an object is null or cannot be found, you should run a script to ensure that the app is working properly. Do not change the name of the shortcut from 'Instagram Media Saver' otherwise the setup may not work properly Test Script for Scriptable (may be needed) NOTE: as of version 1.55, this shortcut requires the Scriptable app to be installed.

NOTE: iCloud Drive is required for this shortcut to work This shortcut works on photos, videos, stories, and reels!
