How To Save Instagram Stories

by

Instagram stories are a great way to share moments of your life with your followers. But what happens when those 24 hours are up? Unfortunately, Instagram stories disappear after this time period. However, there is a way to save your Instagram stories before they disappear forever. In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps to save your Instagram stories.

Step 1: Open the Instagram Story

First, you need to navigate to the story that you want to save. Open the Instagram app on your phone and tap on your story at the top of your feed.

Step 2: Find the Save Option

Once your story is open, you’ll see three dots in the lower right corner of your story. Tap on these dots to open a menu.

Step 3: Save the Instagram Story

In the menu that opens, tap on the Save… option. This will open another set of options. Here, you can choose to save either the photo or video from your story, or you can choose to save the entire story.

Please note: saving an entire story will save it as a video, even if there are multiple photos included in the story.

Step 4: View Saved Stories

You can view your saved stories by going to your profile and tapping on the menu in the top right corner. From there, tap on the Saved option. You will be able to see all the stories you’ve saved here.

Another Option: Archive Your Stories

Besides saving your stories directly, Instagram also provides a feature to archive your stories automatically. To enable this:

  1. Go to your Instagram profile.
  2. Tap on the menu in the top right corner.
  3. Tap on Settings.
  4. Tap on Privacy.
  5. Tap on Story.
  6. Under the Saving section, switch on the Save to Archive option.

This will automatically save your stories to your archive when they expire. You can view them at any time by going to your profile, tapping on the menu in the top right corner, and then tapping on the Archive option.

Conclusion

With this guide, you now know how to save your Instagram stories! Whether you want to hold onto a special memory, reuse content in the future, or just have a backup, this simple process makes it easy.
