For me, it’s kind of a mix. Random memes or funny Reels usually just collect dust on my phone, but I do go back to travel ideas, recipes, or tutorial videos. Having them offline is super useful when I don’t have internet or when the post disappears. I’ve been using instagram video download to grab just the clips I know I’ll need later, and I keep them in folders so it’s easier to actually use them instead of forgetting.
