Frequently asked
questions

Access, downloads and availability.

Is Storyview free to use?

Yes. Viewing and downloading available stories is free. There is no subscription, payment or sign-up.

Do I need an Instagram account?

No. Enter the username of the public profile you want to view. We don’t ask for your Instagram password, email address or account details.

Will my Instagram username appear in the viewer list?

You don’t sign in or connect your Instagram account, so this service does not view stories using your personal Instagram identity. This does not mean your visit is invisible to your internet provider or the services that deliver the website and media.

Can I view stories from a private account?

No. Storyview is for public profiles only. It cannot unlock private accounts or access stories shared only with selected people.

Why aren’t any stories showing?

Check that the username is correct and the account is public. It may have no active stories, or its stories may have expired. Sometimes the source is temporarily unavailable; if that happens, try again later.

Can I download photos and videos?

Yes, when a downloadable file is available. Open a story and select the download button. Photos and videos are saved in the format supplied by the source; quality can vary. The content remains the property of its owner, and downloading it does not give you permission to republish it.

Does this work on iPhone, Android and desktop?

Yes. Use a current browser on your phone, tablet or computer. You don’t need to install an app or a browser extension. Your browser may ask where you want to save a download.

Can I see expired stories or highlights?

This viewer is for currently available stories. Instagram stories normally expire after 24 hours. Expired stories and highlights are not supported by this version.
