Download Instagram Stories

Method 1: Using Third-Party Websites/Tools

Identify the Instagram username of the person whose story you want to download.
Visit a trusted third-party website that offers Instagram story downloading services, such as storiesig.com, instaview.me, or instadp.io.
Enter the username in the provided search box on the website and press Enter or click on the search button.
Browse through the available stories and select the one you want to download.
Click on the “Download” or “Save” button next to the story. The story will be saved to your device’s storage.

Method 2: Utilizing Dedicated Mobile Apps

Go to your mobile device’s app store (Google Play Store for Android or App Store for iOS).
Search for and download a reliable third-party app specifically designed for downloading Instagram stories. Examples include “StorySaver” for Android or “Repost Story for Instagram” for iOS.
Install the app on your device and launch it.
Log in to your Instagram account within the app, providing the necessary permissions.
Browse through the list of stories and select the one you wish to download.
Look for the download or save icon/button within the app and tap on it to save the story to your device.

Method 3: Capturing Screenshots or Screen Recordings

Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and navigate to the story you want to download.
Pause the story or let it play until you reach the desired content.
Take a screenshot by pressing the appropriate buttons on your device. On most Android devices, it is usually the Power button + Volume Down button simultaneously. On iOS devices, it is usually the Power button + Home button (or Power button + Volume Up button for newer models).
To capture the entire story, swipe left or right to move to the next story and take screenshots as needed.
If you want to capture a video story, use a screen recording feature available on your device. On Android, you can typically access this by swiping down the notification shade and tapping on the screen recording icon. On iOS, you can enable screen recording through the Control Center.
After capturing the screenshots or screen recording, the files will be saved to your device’s gallery or camera roll, from where you can access and view them.

Remember to respect the privacy and copyrights of others when downloading and using Instagram stories. It is essential to obtain permission from the content creator before sharing or reusing their content in any way.

How To Download Private Instagram Stories?

Downloading private Instagram stories requires a different approach since these stories are only visible to the account owner’s approved followers. Please note that attempting to download private stories without permission is a violation of Instagram’s terms of service and the privacy of the account owner. Respecting privacy and obtaining proper consent is crucial when handling private content. With that in mind, here’s a general method to download private Instagram stories if you have the necessary permissions:

Method: Request Permission and Use Third-Party Websites/Tools

Contact the owner of the private Instagram account and request their permission to download their stories. Explain why you would like to save the content and assure them that you will respect their privacy and copyright.
If the account owner grants you permission, proceed to the following steps.
Visit a reliable third-party website that offers Instagram story downloading services, such as storiesig.com, instaview.me, or instadp.io.
Enter the username of the private Instagram account in the provided search box on the website and press Enter or click on the search button.
Log in to your Instagram account (you must be following the private account) when prompted by the website to prove that you have the necessary access rights.
After logging in, you should be able to see the stories of the private account on the website.
Browse through the available stories and select the one you want to download.
Click on the “Download” or “Save” button next to the story. The story will be saved to your device’s storage.

Remember, it’s important to obtain proper consent and respect the privacy and copyright of others. Downloading private stories without permission is not only against Instagram’s terms of service but also a breach of trust. Always communicate with the account owner and ensure you have their explicit permission before downloading their private content.

How To Download Instagram Stories With Music?

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Instagram does not provide a built-in option to download stories with music directly. However, there are alternative methods you can try to capture or download Instagram stories that include music. Here are a couple of approaches you can take:

Method 1: Screen Recording with Audio

Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and navigate to the story with music that you want to capture.
Prepare your device for screen recording. On Android, swipe down the notification shade and look for the screen recording icon. On iOS, you can enable screen recording through the Control Center.
Start the screen recording, making sure to enable audio recording as well.
Let the story play with the music, ensuring that the audio is captured.
Once the story is finished, stop the screen recording.
The recorded video, including the music, will be saved to your device’s gallery or camera roll.

Method 2: Utilizing Third-Party Apps

Look for a third-party app that specializes in capturing Instagram stories with music, as functionalities can change over time. One popular option is the “Story Reposter” app available on both Android and iOS platforms.
Download and install the chosen app from your respective app store.
Open the Instagram app on your device and find the story you wish to capture.
Use the third-party app to import the Instagram story into the app.
The app should provide options to save or download the story with the accompanying music to your device.

Keep in mind that Instagram’s terms of service and copyright restrictions apply to the music used in stories. Always respect the intellectual property rights of musicians and creators when downloading or using their content.

How To Download Old Instagram Stories?

Downloading old Instagram stories can be a bit challenging as Instagram doesn’t provide a built-in feature to access or download stories that have expired or are no longer visible. However, there are a few methods you can try to retrieve old Instagram stories, depending on your specific requirements:

Method 1: Archive Stories (if available)

Open the Instagram app on your mobile device.
Tap on your profile icon at the bottom right corner to go to your profile page.
If your account has the Archive feature enabled, tap on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner.
From the menu, select “Archive” or “Archive Stories” (the wording may vary depending on the app version).
You will see a list of your archived stories organized by date. Tap on the specific story you want to download.
Once the story is open, take a screenshot or screen recording to capture the content, following the methods described earlier in this conversation.

Method 2: Use Third-Party Websites/Tools

Identify the Instagram username of the person whose old story you want to download.
Visit third-party websites that offer Instagram story downloading services, such as storiesig.com, instaview.me, or instadp.io.
Enter the username in the provided search box on the website and press Enter or click on the search button.
Browse through the available stories and look for the date range that includes the desired old story.
If the story is available in the website’s archive, click on it to open and view the story.
Take a screenshot or use screen recording to capture the content for download, as described in the previous methods.

Method 3: Ask the Story Creator

If you want to access someone else’s old Instagram story, reach out to the account owner and politely ask if they can provide you with the story.
Explain why you are interested in the story and ask if they would be willing to share it with you.
If the account owner agrees, they can send you the story directly, either by sharing it within Instagram or using other messaging platforms.

Remember to always respect the privacy and copyright of others when downloading or sharing Instagram stories. Obtaining proper permission and consent is essential to ensure you are within the bounds of Instagram’s terms of service and the rights of content creators.
