How to Download Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories is one of the app’s most popular features. But, unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t let you download content that users upload. Luckily, there are apps for Android and iPhone (iOS) devices that will help you do just that.

In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know, and also provide an alternative solution that may suit you better.

Download Instagram Stories on Your iPhone (iOS)

While there are many other solutions on the App Store, ReShare Story for Instagram has everything you need and more! Don’t let the name confuse you. This app will not only let you repost someone’s Story but also to keep it on your device. The reason why we love this option is its simplicity. After downloading the app, all you need to do is to login to your account, and you’ll see the list of everyone that you’re following. Tap on any of them, and voila! You’ll not only see thumbnails of all their Stories, but also Highlights and the most recent media. Tap on the content and choose the Save and copy caption option, and it will soon be on your device.

There’s a Pro version for $9.99, but the free option will be good enough for most users.

Download Instagram Stories on Your Android Device

While ReShare Story for Instagram is also available for Android, the Story Saver app is our preferred solution. This free app requires you to login before it shows you the list of all the accounts you’re following. In addition, you can use the search option for any other profile and check their stories and highlights. After you tap on the content, the app will let you save it on your device, share it, or repost it. Additionally, you can play the video before you do any of that.

We should mention that Story Saver is also available on iOS devices, but you’ll need to shell out $8,99, as there’s no free option.

The Alternative – Saving Instagram Stories on PC and Other Devices

What if you don’t want to install another app on your device, or download stories on your PC? There are several websites that will let you download Instagram Stories without logging in. In this respect, StorySaver.net is our preferred solution. All that’s required is for you to enter the user name of the account you would like to check, and it will list all their active stories and highlights. Choose the Story, tap on it (or right-click on PC), and save it. The site is optimized for smartphones and tablets and contains a single ad that won’t get in your way.

While not offering the option to download Instagram Stories, DownloadGram.com will handle all your other needs when it comes to grabbing content from Instagram. Simply follow these steps:

1. Paste the link of an Instagram post containing the photo or a video.
2. Click on the download button below.
3. Select Download video or Download photo.

That’s not all. You can also download IGTV videos the same way. The only difference is that the download button will open another browser window, and you’ll need to save the content manually. The clean interface looks great on every device, and there are no ads. The limitation is that you can only access the cover image of an Instagram post containing several pictures.

Choosing the Right One

Apps like StorySaver and Reshare Story for Instagram are excellent solutions, especially if you need to not only download but also further manipulate Instagram Stories. They both require you to login, but will also let you check the accounts that you’re following. However, if all you want is to download Stories and Highlights, the StorySaver website should be your choice with Downloadgram complementing it perfectly.
