That is why Instagram users had been asking for a function to let them save their stories so that they could view them at a later time too. Related: What Is The Instagram Alpha Program? Instagram introduced the Archive feature in 2017 in response to this growing demand. The function lets you save your Stories beyond 24 hours. But that catch is that only you can view these saved stories. Archived stories are only visible to the account holder. For your followers, the stories will still disappear after 24 hours. By default, the archive function is turned on so you do not need to worry about it. Each time you post a story it is automatically saved to your archive. The Story archive populates in chronological order according to the date and time that the story was posted.
