When your Story plays, find the slide containing the photo or video you want to download.

However, on Android, you have to download each slide individually.

On your Story page, in the bottom-right corner, tap the three dots.

Select “Your Story” at the top.

This saves your chosen file on your phone’s local storage.

On an iPhone, in the menu that opens, you’ll choose “Save.”

Then, you’ll choose either “Save Photo” or “Save Video.”

Select the three dots in the bottom-right corner.

To download the entire Story as a single video file, tap “Save Story.”

Instagram will save the chosen content to your phone’s gallery app, and you’re all set.
