How to Download Stories via Telegram Bot
Telegram bots also allow you to download the stories you need, as well as any media from Insta*. They generally work the same: you send the bot a link to the desired profile, and it downloads what you request in return.

How to Download Your Story
Sometimes you need to save your own story from Instagram*. Typically, this doesn't require installing any apps or using Telegram bots.
To save your own Story from Instagram*, open the app, tap the icon with your stories, then tap the three dots in the bottom right corner. That's it! The story is saved in the phone gallery.
If you need an old story, go to settings in your profile, select "Archive," tap the desired story, then the three dots in the bottom right corner. That's it! The story is saved to your device.
Make a Screen Recording
The last way to save stories from Instagram* is simple: just make a screen recording.
