Three Ways to Download Instagram Stories – Really Easy!

So now let's get straight to the main discussion, namely three ways to download Instagram Stories so they can be saved as videos on the device. The method that will be shown applies to both Android and iOS.

Downloading directly from the Instagram app

This first method is fairly easy. You can download Instagram stories directly from the application, you know! This can be done in a few short steps:

1. Open the story you want to download;
2. Type the three dots option (…). Usually located in the corner of the screen;
3. Select the "Save Video"/"Save Video" menu.

And done! The story is officially saved to the device. First disclaimer, this only applies if the story in question was posted by your own account.

Meta, as the company that owns Instagram, does not yet provide a built-in feature for downloading other people's stories. So, even though the account is public or follows each other, you can't download it from within.

For this reason, there are several other ways if the story you want to download does not belong to your own account. Don't forget, VCGamers will also include these two methods below.

Downloading via third party websites/apps

As has been explained, this method can really be used to download other people's stories: using services provided by various third-party websites or applications.

There are so many websites or applications out there that already provide this service. Vicigers You can choose what you feel is easiest and most concise.

Generally, you only need to copy the link/URL of the Story you want to download, and paste it into the website/apps. From there, you will be immediately directed to the download page.

However, this only applies to accounts that are opened publicly. So what you can download are the stories of influencers, public figures or celebrities who usually don't keep their Instagram accounts private.

Meanwhile, for your relatives who usually activate the private account option, these websites/apps usually won't be able to download their Stories for privacy reasons.

Downloading via browser extensions/add-ons

Now, the last method can be used to download Stories from any account! This applies provided that you can access and play the story you want to download via a browser.

Both on mobile and desktop devices, this method takes advantage of the extension features and add-ons available on each browser.

In fact, this method will not only be able to download Stories, but any form of video that is played via a browser that has the extension/add-ons installed. So, this Story (which is a video) is one of them.

There are various extensions/add-ons out there to try. And each has a different way and mechanism in how it is downloaded. Just choose which one suits your browser best!
