I’ve seen some interesting stories on business Instagram accounts that I’d like to download for research purposes. Is there a way to download stories from public business profiles?

Yes, you can easily download Instagram stories from public profiles, including business accounts. I use Snapinsta for this purpose. It’s a web-based tool where you paste the URL of the story, and it lets you download the content instantly. No need to log in, and you get the stories in original quality. It works well for both photos and videos from public accounts, and it’s totally free!
