If you are an avid Instagram user, you know the sad fact of the 24-hour Story. Even if you haven’t known, you are already aware.
Yes, that’s a trending Instagram thing like Stories only lives for 24 hours. On the one hand, it’s a good thing because you’re dipping into users’ real lives, but on the other hand, you can spend hours on Instagram to not miss out on useful tips from your favorite blogger. I can help you with this matter. After reading this article, you can download the Stories to any device and enjoy watching them whenever you like.
In case you don’t know why you need to download Stories, here are a couple of reasons.
Why is it worth downloading Stories?
1. Ongoing content
There is no need to keep everything in your head. No matter what kind of content (whether educational, inspirational, or just life-long tips) you observe in your favorite Instagram blogger’s Story, today you have an opportunity to save it for longer, then open and recall at any time.
Of course, there’s a screenshot, but that won’t work with video.
2. Accessibility at all times
I agree that it’s hard to find places these days without the internet, but I’m sure you’ve found them too. You may open the gallery and view a good or funny story anywhere and under any conditions, as long as your phone/laptop is not running out of power. Even after a year, the story info will still be with you until you delete it.
In general, downloaded Stories are not afraid of time and places without the internet.
3. It’s not complicated
There is nothing difficult about Stories downloading. You need to install a third-party app or just use the platforms without installation (see below).
4. It’s anonymous
Don’t worry that someone might suspect you are stealing content (you won’t ignore the copyright law). Mostly apps for downloading other people’s Stories are designed for watching and saving everything anonymously. Otherwise, users will not benefit from other apps, so anonymity is one of the main components.
5. It’s lawful
Instagram is one of the most open social networks. After all, people demonstrate their weekdays and weekends 24/7, so it will be challenging to get promoted here without sociality and openness. My point is that all content is shared, as long as it is shown openly, so it is legitimate to use the information. The main thing is not to forget about the copyright law if you use other people’s content in the future (mark the authorship or talk to the content owner).
Instagram Story downloading
There are quite a few apps for viewing or downloading other people’s Stories, videos, posts, etc.) in the App/Play Store. Here I’ll show you the main ones and also an Instagram Stories downloader that does not require installation.
