Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this tool.
Can I download stories from private accounts?+
No — this tool only works with public accounts. Private accounts restrict story access to approved followers.
Will the account owner see that I downloaded their story?+
No. Instagram's story view counter only increments when you watch a story through the app. Downloading via our tool does not add to their view count.
What happens if someone's stories have already expired?+
Expired stories cannot be recovered. Stories are only available during the 24-hour window after posting.
Can I download story highlights?+
Highlights are permanently saved stories. This downloader focuses on active 24-hour stories. Highlight download functionality is on our roadmap.
Is this legal?+
Downloading public stories for personal use is generally acceptable. Re-sharing someone else's content without permission may violate Instagram's Terms of Service and applicable copyright laws.
