Images and videos posted to your story remain visible for up to 24 hours; after that, they disappear forever — but you can access them from your private archive and even choose to show select stories permanently as “highlights” on your profile page. You can also save your stories to your phone’s photo library, either by saving each image or video independently or downloading the entire story as a single video. However, if you want to save someone else’s story, it’s a bit more complicated.
For still images, the easiest way to save a story is simply to take a screenshot.
Ways To Downlod IG Story in
On iOS
Go to the App Store and download Repost Story for Instagram. The app is fairly straightforward, just give it access to your photo library and then search for an Instagram username. The app also allows you to watch Stories anonymously, so your crush will never know you’re watching. The Story Creator tool also helps you recreate your old photos or videos with a new date.
On Android
The Android app we used is called Story Saver, available for free from the Google Play store. As with Repost Story on iOS, you will have to log into your Instagram account to get started. The main page shows you all the Stories that your followers have posted, but you can also search for other users in the search bar. Select the photo or video you want and then tap Save. The photo will show up in the Story Saver folder when you are looking at your photos. Regardless of how you save a story, it’s best to make sure you’re doing so with the permission of the person who posted it. This is especially important if you’re going to share the content in your own story or feed.
On Desktop
If you’d rather save stories to your computer, there are a couple of ways to do it. Perhaps the easiest is to use StoryDownloader, a website dedicated to the task, as its name clearly implies. You may also want to try Story Saver, StoriesIG, and Weynstag. With these types of downloaders sites, you simply enter a username and it will bring up a grid of that user’s current stories. Tap the download button to save it to your computer.
