Search by Instagram username
- Copy the current username or profile URL, not the display name. Keep dots and underscores. A link to an individual post or Reel is not a profile link.
- Enter a public Instagram username or profile link and search. Available active Stories appear below as photo or video tiles. Open a tile to view it; Instagram login is not required. A public account may have no active Stories, and private or deleted content cannot be unlocked.
- Use Download beneath an available Story to save the file. On mobile, check your browser downloads or Files; use the device sharing menu if you want to save it to Photos. Quality depends on the available source. Downloading does not grant permission to republish someone else’s content.
If Stories do not appear
Check the current username first. A private profile, a profile that cannot be found, no active Stories and a daily search limit are different results. Follow the message shown beside the search. For a temporary error, try later; do not keep sending the same request.
