Is it possible to watch or download someone's IG story if it has already expired, without having to follow them or log into the app?

Once an Instagram story hits that 24-hour mark and expires, it is permanently pulled from public servers and moved into the user's private archive. There is honestly no magical tool that can hack into Instagram's database to retrieve a story that has already vanished. If the account owner didn't manually save it to their public Highlights section, it is pretty much gone for good. However, if you want to make sure you never miss an active story before it expires, the best strategy is to download it while it is still live.
