Frequently asked questions
Is story downloading anonymous?
Yes. Watching or saving through this tool does not notify the account owner.
Can I download stories after 24 hours?
No — once a story expires it is gone unless it was saved to Highlights (see our Highlights downloader).
Do I need to log in?
No. Only public stories can be downloaded, and no login is ever asked for.
