Many iPhone users prefer not to install a separate downloader for a task they may only do occasionally. They usually want a method that works in the browser and starts from the copied Instagram link.
That makes a browser-based downloader a better fit for light use, especially when the goal is speed and convenience.
Copy the Instagram video link from the app, open the downloader page in Safari or another mobile browser, and paste the link into the tool.
After processing, save the file using the normal iPhone download flow so you can keep it for offline viewing or reference.
The exact save experience can depend on the browser and iPhone settings, but the general workflow stays the same: copy the link, paste it, and download the file.
As always, make sure you have the right to save or reuse the video before downloading it.
