InstaUltimate

Download Instagram stories, profile pictures, and posts directly from within the Instagram app!

Description

InstaUltimate - A different Instagram downloader.

With the InstaUltimate shortcut you can view and download profile pictures, stories, and posts from all Instagram profiles (including private accounts) in different ways.

!!* A faster/lighter version of this shortcut is also available [InstaUltimate Lite]. It can only run from within the Instagram app and does not have additional features such as a favorites list or a recents menu. *!!

Features

Aside from the standard things such as getting profile pictures, posts, and stories by copy pasting an Instagram URL, manually inputting a username, or selecting a username from your favorites list, the shortcut also has features such as:

Download profile pictures (also from private accounts you follow), stories and Instagram posts directly from within the Instagram app itself!
Download media from private accounts you follow.
A “recents” menu from which you can easily access your recent searches and make new searches, and even delete them if necessary.
Get a notification whenever a new update of the shortcut is available. Thanks to @pfg's Embed-a-Update shortcut.

How to use?

Directly from within the Instagram app

To download download a profile picture (also from private accounts), story or full Instagram post of a specific user within the Instagram app, just click on a random post of a specific Instagram user within the Instagram app and press the three dots “(•••)” in the upper right hand corner of the post, after that press “Share with” and run the InstaUltimate shortcut.

Media from private accounts you follow

Within Instagram, press the three dots “(•••)” in the upper right hand corner of the post you would like to download, then open Safari and go to the URL you copied (make sure that you are logged in to Instagram within Safari). After that, simply press the share button next to the book symbol and run the InstaUltimate shortcut.

Stories from private accounts you follow

To download a story from a private Instagram account you follow, open up Safari (make sure that you are logged in to Instagram within Safari) and view the story you would like to download. Then, simply press the share button next to the book symbol and run the InstaUltimate shortcut.

!! The InstaUltimate shortcut might crash sometimes when downloading stories, so I recommend trying my InstaUltimate Lite shortcut for doing this !!

Be sure to check out my other shortcut "InstaProfile Monitor" which monitors for changes to Instagram profile pictures!

Hi, for some reason the first time I ran the shortcut I could not download anything but I ran it for a second time and everything works great. This is a great shortcut!

Hi misterperfectman, I’m fan of your work. Are you aware that instadp gives empty result sometimes in your shortcut although I can see the profile photos in instadp website. Maybe it is because of cookie pop up message or advertisement pop up on the website. Is there any fix on the way?

Thank you for reporting this to me. I’ll look into this and see how I can fix this.

I’ve made shortcuts that rely on instadp too.. their servers sometimes have issues but I did workarounds that retry actions when the server error is detected.

I installed the shortcut.I works to download the profiles and stroies but can not find where to down load post. I think something wrong with the share link of post these days. Hope you can fix it.

Please let me know if the problem still persists.

hello,I just update it to the latest version and it can easily dl the post but when I download the story it just show the slide but nowhere to click to save it.

Hey inghean! Normally you should see a “Share” button above or below the story preview (often in the upper right corner). If you click on that you get the option to save it to your camera roll! Let me know!

@seemereportuu

hello! thank you to make this shortcut. Most of the features work fine. but save story function isn't work. First, login on safari instagram. Second, execute the instaultimate shortcut. and enter the username. afterwards choose the story. But even if I go to the safari window and click the share button, I can't see the save. I would really appreciate it if you let me know how to download the story using YouTube or something else. T^T Express you deep gratitude. thanks

The story save function doesn't work on iOS 14. When following the steps for saving private stories, the share sheet becomes unresponsive.
