Save and edit drafts of your reel on Instagram
Drafts are saved onto your device. You won’t be able to access a saved draft from another device, even if you log in to your account. If you uninstall the app, your drafts will be lost.
You can record a reel and save it to your Instagram account or camera roll before sharing it. Drafts will be saved until you share or delete them. There isn’t a limit to how many drafts you can save.
Keep in mind, downloading your reel won’t save any music you added from the Instagram music library.
