How to Archive Instagram Stories?
Actually, the stories archive is slightly different from the posts archive. On Instagram, you cannot save stories in the stories archive manually. Instead, Instagram archives your stories automatically when you publish one. Just note that if you share a story and delete it before it expires automatically, it won’t be archived.
So, if you want your stories to be archived on Instagram, you just have to wait until it expires. After that, you can go to your stories archive and republish any of them if you want. To access your archived stories, just follow these steps:
- Open your Instagram profile and tap on the three lines icon on the top right corner of the screen.
- Then, tap on “Archive”.
- Here, just click on the top of the screen and choose “Stories Archive”.
Now, you can easily view and reshare your old Instagram stories. But since you cannot manually archive stories, you cannot also unarchive them.
But there must a way to manually archive stories and hopefully, there is! So, to know how this is possible and also how to mass archive Instagram posts, jump into the next section.

Another way to mass archive Instagram posts on your mobile is to use a gesture recorder. Gesture recorders are apps that record every single action you take on your mobile and can redo it after the record is done. So, using these apps, you just have to archive an Instagram post while the app is recording. Then, set it to automatically repeat the action a specific number of times. This way, you will mass archive Instagram posts in a few minutes, without you taking the action repeatedly.
#3 Use an Android Emulator to Mass Archive Instagram Posts on a PC
Finally, if you usually go to Instagram and manage all your tasks from a PC, the only way to mass archive Instagram posts is to use an Android emulator. Unfortunately, you cannot even archive a single post on a PC and this is why you need an emulator. This way, you can do all you do on an Android phone from your PC. So, exactly following the same path as you did with a gesture recorder on your phone, you can mass archive Instagram posts on a PC through an emulator. By the way, note that AiGrow is compatible with all devices and if you choose to use it, you don’t have to care about your device and OS.
