I experimented with Follow-up Mode enabled....

To do that, tap the Settings icon and then Download Quality. It’s set to Best by default, but I recommend choosing either Good or Better. Anything higher will take longer to download and use a lot more storage. This is especially important if you have a device with limited storage like an iPad Mini with 16 GB of storage. Now browse through your video collection and find something you want to download and tap the download button for movies or the download icon next to TV shows....

Mark Zuckerberg himself has posted the information on his Facebook profile, and the Instagram blog has also posted it, so it doesn’t get more official than this....
