What alternatives to use to share a story from a private profile on Instagram?
It may happen that when looking at or viewing the stories in a private profile you want to share it with your friends, but since the user keeps his profile private, it is difficult to share the content that he publishes in his Stories. However, there are some ways to achieve this through a couple of tricks that we will indicate below:
Recording history
One of the ways in which you can share the content of the stories of a private profile is by recording it, since that way it will be saved on your device and then you can share it, if it is only an image you can go to the option to take a screenshot screen, however if the content is audiovisual or with some type of animation you will have to record the story as follows:
- Make sure your device has the screen recorder tool.
- Locate it among your tools and activate it so that the circle appears on the screen to start recording.
- Now go to your Instagram social network and look at the top for the private story you want to share.
- When you open the story immediately click on the screen recorder to start recording.
- Once the story has finished playing, pause the recording and select save.
- The video will be saved in your gallery and now you can share it on Instagram, send it to your contacts or publish it in your Stories.
Publishing it on your ‘Instagram Stories’
