Apart from the native way, you can save Instagram Stories with music using third-party online services as well. However, note that your Instagram account must be public to use any of the services.

You must not enter your Instagram password on third-party apps to safeguard your account from any kind of mischief. That said, let’s look at two tools that you can use:

5. Open snapinsta.app (visit) in your mobile browser and move to the “Instagram Story Download” tab. Now, paste the link here and hit “Download”.
