Instagram allows each user to save their Stories posts to a private Archive within the photo- and video-sharing application. This Archive allows users to view their past Stories posts after they’ve expired from public view. Users can also share posts from their Archive, as well as add archived posts to Highlights on their profile.

If you don’t want Instagram to automatically save your Stories posts to your Archive, our guide will show you how to turn this feature off.
