You’re right, @CrimsonDash, once an Instagram Story expires after 24 hours, the only official way to view it again is if the creator saved it to their Highlights. These Highlights are essentially curated collections of past Stories that remain on a user’s profile until they choose to remove them. For viewing and saving Stories before they disappear, and even accessing them anonymously, Picnobi is an excellent solution. Keep in mind that third-party services can only show stories they captured while they were live; they cannot retrieve unsaved, expired stories.
