Back in March this year, Instagram teased the upcoming story drafts feature on its platform. Well, one can now save an Instagram story as a draft as the said feature is globally rolling out to all users. For those unaware, until now Instagram users could only save their posts and reels as drafts.

With Story drafts, you can begin editing a story that hasn’t been published yet from where you left off. This comes in handy as you don’t need to create and post the story immediately.

However, unlike posts and reels, Instagram stories saved as drafts expire automatically seven days after you first save them. Though one can download the story to their device and upload it again, doing so won’t retain the stickers, music, and other effects you apply.

Without further ado, let’s see how you can save stories as drafts, find or delete them on Instagram for iPhone and Android.

NOTE: To get the story drafts feature, make sure you are running the latest version of the Instagram app.
