Frequently Asked Questions
Will the creator know I saved their story?
For public stories on the main feed, no. For disappearing DM stories, yes.
Instagram Stories disappear after 24 hours unless added to Highlights. Instagram offers built-in tools to save your own stories: the three-dot Save option, Highlights to keep them visible, and Archive (Settings → Privacy → Story → Save to Archive) which automatically saves every story you post. For others' stories, only screen recording works on the device — and Instagram may notify the creator for certain story types (disappearing photos/videos in DMs).
