To save an edited story on Instagram, open the story you want to save, tap the "More" option (three dots) in the bottom right corner, and then select "Save." You can choose to save either the individual photo or video, or save the entire story as a single video.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Open your story: Go to your Instagram profile and tap on your profile picture to view your active story.
- Locate the desired photo or video (if applicable): If your story has multiple parts, swipe to the specific photo or video you want to save.
- Tap the "More" option: In the bottom right corner of the screen, you will see three dots (…). Tap on these dots.
- Select "Save": A menu will appear. Choose the "Save" option.
- Choose save option:
- Save Photo/Video: If you want to save only the current photo or video. This will save the individual item to your phone's camera roll.
- Save Story: If you want to save the entire story as a single video file. This option combines all the photos and videos in your story into one video and saves it to your camera roll.
Important Considerations:
- Edits are included: The saved photo or video will include all the edits you made within the Instagram story editor (e.g., text, stickers, filters, drawings).
- Audio from music stickers might be missing: Due to copyright restrictions, music added using Instagram's music stickers might not be included when you save the story.
- Saved to camera roll: The saved content will be located in your phone's camera roll or gallery.
- Privacy: Only you can save your own stories in this way. Other people can take screenshots or screen recordings, but they cannot directly "save" your story through Instagram itself.
