Even those aren&#8217;t 100% reliable, unless you have a backup of them elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that even though Facebook and Instagram don&#8217;t have automatic backups, they do allow you to manually back up your content. I know this is a boring task, but it is one that costs you nothing, and can save you a meltdown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Backup Your Instagram<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram allows you to download all of your photos, and other information: likes, comments, contacts, captions for your photos (including hashtags), videos, searches, settings, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-back-up-your-instagram.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-back-up-your-instagram-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"How to backup your Instagram\" class=\"wp-image-2317\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-back-up-your-instagram-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-back-up-your-instagram-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-back-up-your-instagram-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-back-up-your-instagram-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-back-up-your-instagram-624x624.png 624w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-back-up-your-instagram.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The pros are that your photos will all be JPEGs and sorted by the date. The cons are that your photos resolution will be lower, and the other stuff you save will will be packed in JSON files (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/JSON\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JavaScript Object Notation<\/a>). You can still read them using some simple text editing software such as WordPad, Notepad, or TextEdit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to back up your Instagram using your Android or iOS app<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To download a backup of your Instagram profile on a mobile device or a tablet, you need to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the Instagram app.<\/li><li>Tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner.<\/li><li>Tap the menu icon in the top right corner, then tap&nbsp;<em>Settings<\/em> (it is hidden in the bottom right corner of the menu).<\/li><li>Scroll down to&nbsp;<em>Securit<\/em>y.

Then click&nbsp;<em>Download data<\/em>&nbsp;to start downloading the ZIP archive with your photos and other Instagram profile information.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-backup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-backup-594x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram Backup\" class=\"wp-image-2315\" width=\"297\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-backup-594x1024.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-backup-174x300.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-backup-768x1323.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-backup-891x1536.jpg 891w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-backup-624x1075.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-backup.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to back up your Instagram using a Laptop or Desktop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a Web Browser for getting your Instagram profile backup can be easier.

Or what if <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/8241546\/facebook-instagram-whatsapp-down-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook was down<\/a>, like it is today, and never cam back online? Who knows, maybe Mark Zuckerberg might decide he has made too much money now and wants to end the Facebook era?! (I doubt the last one, but still, it could happen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news, you can back up your Facebook account, once it is back online that is. We are going on 2 hours of it being down at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Facebook is Down\" class=\"wp-image-2314\" width=\"374\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down-768x1579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down-747x1536.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down-996x2048.jpg 996w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down-624x1283.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.seowebfirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Facebook-down.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to back up your Facebook Account:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need to do the following on a laptop or computer, this files will be too large to do it from your mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Login and go to the settings tab in the dropdown menu in the upper right hand corner of your Facebook home page.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Once you are in the settings section, go to the tab labeled,&nbsp;<strong><em>your Facebook information.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/li><li>Next, select&nbsp;<strong><em>download your information<\/em><\/strong>.<\/li><li>Choose the&nbsp;<strong><em>date range<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;you would like to download and save, as well as select the&nbsp;<strong><em>items to save&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 posts, photos and videos, comments, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Voila, you are done!
