How to save draft story on instagram - Full Guide 2024

As of my last update, Instagram does not have a built-in feature to save drafts of Stories directly within the app. However, you can work around this limitation by using the following methods:
1. **Use Your Camera Roll**: Before posting your Story on Instagram, you can save it as a draft in your phone's camera roll. Here's how:
- Create your Story as you normally would in the Instagram app.
- Before sharing it, tap on the download button (usually a downward arrow icon) at the top of the screen to save the Story to your camera roll.
- Once saved, the Story will be available in your camera roll as a video or image file. You can then access it later and post it to your Instagram Story whenever you're ready.
2. **Third-Party Apps**: There are third-party apps available on the App Store and Google Play Store that allow you to save and manage drafts of Instagram Stories. These apps typically provide additional features and flexibility for creating and scheduling Stories. Some popular options include "Planoly," "Later," and "Buffer."
3. **Save as a Draft in Another App**: You can use other apps on your phone, such as photo editing or design apps, to create and save drafts of Stories. Once you're satisfied with your draft, you can save it to your camera roll and then post it to Instagram later.
It's important to note that while these methods allow you to save drafts of Stories, they may not provide the same seamless experience as a built-in feature within the Instagram app. Additionally, Instagram's features and functionality are subject to change, so it's possible that a native draft-saving feature could be introduced in future updates.
