No, we never store videos or media on our servers. Content is fetched directly from the source platform and streamed to your device. Once you close the page, there's no trace of your activity.

Common reasons include: incorrect URL, private or deleted content, temporary platform restrictions, or unsupported content type. Try copying the URL again from the original post and ensure it's from a public account.

Download speed depends on your internet connection and the source platform's servers. Try downloading during off-peak hours or check your internet connection. If the issue persists, try again in a few minutes.

Some platforms serve video and audio separately. Try using a media player like VLC to play the file. If the issue persists, try downloading again or verify the original video has audio.

Instagram stories can only be downloaded if they're from a public account and haven't expired (stories disappear after 24 hours). SaveMyReel cannot access stories from private accounts.
