Before getting into how to download Instagram highlights, let’s just get into some brief description about what exactly is Instagram. Those who are new to Instagram and don’t know what exactly Instagram is and what purpose it is used, keep reading this post to find out.
Instagram is nothing but a photo and video sharing app that works on both iOS and Android phones as well as works on the web. Instagram can be used for sharing pictures and videos with their followers or a selective group of friends.
The followers can view, like and comment on the posts. However, Instagram comes with age restriction. Anyone who is below 13 cannot make use of Instagram in any manner.
In earlier days, when Instagram was launched, people could only post their pictures and videos. But in 2016, Instagram came up with the concept of stories just like Snapchat.

Instagram highlights are nothing but a way of highlighting your stories and posting them in a different section of your profile. The Instagram highlights are visible in the section just above your posts in your profile.
