Instagram: Here's How to Save Posts From Your Instagram Stories

Follow this guide to save the photos and videos you share in your Instagram Stories

While the photos and videos you share to your Instagram Stories will automatically disappear after 24 hours, did you know Instagram lets you save these posts to your devices so you don’t lose them? Our guide will show you how this is done.

Step 1: Tap your profile picture in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Step 2: Tap the gear icon.

Step 3: Tap “Story Settings.”
