Instagram Stories lets you share your daily experiences with all your followers around the world. You can add as many stories as you want, as long as you don’t mind spamming your friends. These stories will stay on your profile and visible for 24 hours. After that, they will disappear and can no longer be seen. But where do they go and how can you get these old stories back? Read on to find out.
How to Add Old Instagram Stories to Your Highlights
While Instagram Stories are a great way to share the moment with your friends and followers, they only last for 24 hours. That means the Story is gone and you and your followers can’t relive it. That’s why Instagram users have been asking for a feature that would let them save their Stories so they could watch them later.

Instagram introduced the Archive feature in 2017 in response to this growing demand. The feature allows you to save your Stories for longer than 24 hours. The catch, however, is that only you can view these saved Stories. Archived Stories are only visible to the account holder. For your followers, the Stories still disappear after 24 hours.
