When you try to save a Story with music, you'll get an error that says, "Saving isn't available for stories with songs" or a warning that your Story will be saved without the music; however, there is a workaround. This wikiHow will teach you how to save your Instagram Story with music to your phone's gallery using a web browser.
Steps
-
1Go to https://www.storysaver.net/ in a web browser. You can use any mobile or desktop web browser to download Instagram Stories from this website.
- Your account must be public to be able to download your Story from StorySaver.net. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy and make sure the switch is off next to "Private Account."
- If you're using Safari, you'll need to copy the URL from the posted Story in Instagram before continuing. In the Instagram app, view the Story and tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner, then tap to copy the URL.
-
2Enter your Instagram account name then tap Download. After you type your Instagram account name and Download, you should see your account and your current posted Stories as well as any highlights listed.
- If prompted, complete the "captcha" to prove you're not a robot to continue.
- If you're using Safari, paste the URL instead of entering the Instagram account username and you'll be directed immediately to the associated Story.
