How to Download Instagram Stories on iPhone (Fast & Safe)

Instagram doesn’t provide a download button for Stories. Here’s how to quickly save public Stories to your iPhone using InSaver: Videos, Story & Reels — no login, no watermark.

Before you start: what you can and can’t download

  • Public accounts only. Respect privacy—content from private accounts should not be downloaded.
  • Personal use. Always check the creator’s rights. Do not reupload without permission.
  • No watermark. InSaver keeps the original quality and doesn’t add a watermark.

Step‑by‑step: save an Instagram Story on iPhone

  1. Open Instagram and find the public Story you want to save.
  2. Tap the share icon (paper plane) → choose Copy Link.
  3. Open InSaver on your iPhone. The link will paste automatically.
  4. Preview the Story and tap Save.
  5. Allow Photos access if prompted. The video/image will appear in your Camera Roll.

Tip: reels, videos & photos

InSaver also supports public Reels, videos, and photos. The flow is the same: copy link in Instagram → open InSaver → Save.

Troubleshooting

  • “Can’t fetch content” — The account might be private or the link is expired. Try another public Story.
  • No sound in video — Make sure the original Story has sound and the device isn’t muted.
  • Not in Camera Roll — Check Photos permissions: Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → InSaver.
