How to Download Old Instagram Profile Picture Photo
Instagram allows users to download their activity, including posts, stories, and reels. However, you cannot download your old or current profile picture.

- In the upper-right corner, tap the three-line icon, then choose Settings and Privacy.
Click on “Download and archive” under “Your app and media.”

- You can manually alter the image if you still have the old one. Take the actions listed below:
- Select Edit profile from the menu under the profile photo when you open your Instagram account.
- To edit your avatar or picture, tap on it and choose Choose from library.
Why Is It Not Possible to Download an Instagram Profile Picture?
Instagram restricts users’ ability to download profile photographs primarily for security purposes related to user identity and privacy protection. Because certain accounts on the network are private as well, it makes sure that user photographs are never used without permission.
