You might have seen the “Reels and Short Videos” section while going through your Facebook News Feed. Well, Instagram Reels can be watched on Facebook, and you can also make them in the Facebook app.
Also, there is now a “Reels” tab in the Menu tab, along with several other shortcuts. You can also let other people share your Instagram reels on Facebook. This means that Facebook will now show both reels made on Facebook and reels made on Instagram.
People who like to watch short funny videos might like to download Facebook reels that they find funny. You might want to download a reel if you want to watch it later outside of the Facebook app or add it to your story.
Whatever your use case may be, neither Instagram nor Facebook offers an official way to download someone else’s reels to the gallery.
