So.... just recently I realized that I can no longer download the pictures from the "tabs" on Instagram.
I download the picture normally, like I've done thousands of times and click the "tab" to move to the next picture and download that one.
They're different pictures yet upon opening the pictures that I JUST DOWNLOAD, they're exactly the same....

Any help on this issues would be most appreciated!

See attached pictures for an understand of the "tab's" (for lack of the proper term) that I'm describing.

The program "Instaloader" should be of help to you.
Apparently just recently Instagram changed something on their end that made these so-called "sidecar" posts require a different download method which fucked up some of my scheduled downloading runs until Instaloader adapted their DL method.

When all else fails, take a picture of your screen and crop out the surroundings to make perfect pics. That's what I do whenever I run into downloading issues on sites with download blockers in place.

I recently discovered a browser extension which is extremely helpful and may be of use to you: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...fhmmnioeao

"High Resolution Downloader for Instagram" allows you to left-click on any picture or video and automatically have a direct link to that picture or video copied to your clipboard. You can then copy+paste the link into your browser and be taken to a webpage containing solely that picture or video, fully available for download at the highest available resolution - no further hassle.

Hope this helps! (For Stories and Highlights I use a couple other extensions which work perfectly as well, but that doesn't seem to be the issue you're having).

I use storysaver (app) there's ads sometimes but if you have the volume on ur phone off its all good. You csn even download IGTV stuff. For public photos & videos I use downloadgram.com (btw also in the app above: you can download your "saved photos/videos" & everyones saved highlights. I've used both the app & the site since maybe 2018

Use this Site instead: https://gramho.com/

https://instavideosdownloader.com/ works for pictures and videos too

for stories i use these:

https://storiesig.com

https://www.storysaver.net

for pictures, i right click and view the page source.
