Add a reel
- Paste the link. In Instagram, tap the paper plane on a reel, then Copy link. In AirDigest, tap +, then Paste.
- Or share it. In the same row in Instagram, tap Share to, then AirDigest. Don't see it? Swipe the row of apps to the end and tap More. AirDigest watches the reel in the background while your screen is on, and writes the article when you open the app.
- Or choose a video. In Add, choose a video you've saved from Photos or Files, or share it from Photos to AirDigest.
AirDigest then watches the reel using Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system built into your device, and writes the article on your device. If you leave, it carries on when iOS allows, and otherwise when you come back.
Which devices work
| Device | Write articles | Read, listen, share |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 15 Pro and later, iPhone 16e, iPhone Duo | Yes | Yes |
| iPad mini (A17 Pro, A20 Pro), iPad with M1 or later | Yes | Yes |
| MacBook Neo, Mac with M1 or later (the iPad app) | Yes | Yes |
| Other iPhones and iPads on iOS or iPadOS 26.4 or later | No: it says "This iPhone can't write articles" and offers no pass | Yes, with the sample and anything in your iCloud |
Turn on Apple Intelligence
Open the Settings app, tap Apple Intelligence & Siri and turn it on. Keep your iPhone and Siri in the same language. Your iPhone gets it ready by itself when Wi-Fi, battery and free space allow, so it can take a while. Reels you add before then wait in your library.
Languages
The first screen asks for your language: English, Español, Français, 日本語, Deutsch, Português, Italiano, 한국어 or 简体中文. AirDigest shows that language and writes new articles in it. Change it in Settings › Language. Articles you already have stay as they are.
When a reel fails
- It may be private, removed or kept on Instagram. Instagram answers all three with the same page, so AirDigest can't tell which. If it plays for you there, save it to Photos and share the video to AirDigest.
- Its music plays only in Instagram. AirDigest writes from the caption and the cover, or reads the text on screen in a copy you saved, which has no sound.
- The creator keeps it on Instagram. Instagram doesn't show every post to other websites, and it answers these the same way.
- It's a song, a sketch or says too little. It stays as a note and doesn't use a free article.
- No internet, or a full iPhone. Try again from Failed in your library.
Passes
Your first 5 new articles are free, and the count follows your iCloud Keychain. Passes never renew: you pay once and nothing charges you again. Settings › Passes and restore brings back a pass bought with the same Apple Account. Refunds are Apple's, at reportaproblem.apple.com or through Settings › Request a refund.
Your data
We collect nothing. Delete an article by swiping it, or everything from Settings › Delete everything. Details are in the privacy policy.
For creators
When someone pastes the link to your public reel, their iPhone asks Instagram for the post, as a browser does, and says it's AirDigest asking. AirDigest watches it using Apple Intelligence and writes an article for that one person, which names you and links back to your reel. The video doesn't stay on their iPhone; one still stays with the article as its cover, and it can appear on a card if they share one. AirDigest doesn't post anything anywhere, has no feed and doesn't hand the video to anyone.
AirDigest works with the page Instagram offers other websites for a public post. Instagram's Allow website embeds setting governs that page, so turning it off should stop this for your reels. Articles live on each person's own device and iCloud, so we can't see or remove them, but write to support@airdigest.app with any concern and we'll answer within two days.
