You're accessing insta from a specific app made for insta. Whatever you can and can't do is determined by this app. If the app doesnt't support downloading, then you'll need to figure out how to either mod the app, write your own lightweight 'client' or write a bunch of scripts to run from a shell or something.

I sure as hell hope you're not using an iPhone.

There are different apps you can use but if you got a iPhone it’s gonna be hard

You can use the web browser in your phone, right click on an instagram photo then save as image.

If there's no app, there are also sites where you can put in the image URL and they'll make a download link for it. Bit more time-consuming, though.

You can try to just screen cap. You can also go through the browser on the phone.

If you have access to any network filtering logs on your mobile device, you can download the images that way as well, because Instagram will have to request the images from the server one way or the other (whether you're using the mobile application or the normal web-based service is irrelevant).

 

While the original thread was about a mobile device, it might help others if I mention that if you need to quickly download a lot of Instagram pictures when using a normal web browser, you can use the Network tab on the browser's Developer Tools (the tab might be named differently depending on the browser) and then use the filter for the type of content you'll be finding in the requests. Then it's as simple as downloading the requested data on a right click. 

 

The Android application is actually a website that has been designed differently for smart phone/tablet use being rendered in a browser engine. This is common practice for services like Instagram now. Facebook (who also own Instagram) and Skype (owned by Microsoft) also do this, as well as countless other mobile applications.

 

The reason for this is because it's much easier to develop and maintain projects in web-based languages like HTML (for mark-up), CSS (for styling), JavaScript (client-side scripting, even easier when using the jQuery library) and others than it is when using native programming languages. If anyone here has tried to handle a large GUI project in a native language (or a whole chain of them) then you'll understand the pain it brings in comparison to using a web-based approach for it. Due to this, large organizations tend to try and stay away from native programming languages unless where explicitly required, and another reason for this would be compatibility (so they can do less platform-specific work when they need support across a variety of platforms - even if the programming language is not native and is running on a JIT compiler so it can be ran on many platforms, you might have to do platform-specific things in that language regarding native APIs, so this won't exclude you from that compatibility issue!).
