Stories that let you create and share a collection of photos and videos showing ‘moments of your day’ can now be accessed on your browser. Enabling you to explore Instagram via your laptop or desktop, this new feature eliminates the limitation of accessing the Instagram stories. California-based Android software engineer Alex Garcia is the mind behind Instagram Stories for the web. To browser Instagram Stories on the web all you got to do is:
- Download the lately created Chrome extension known as ‘Chrome IG Story‘ (You’ll have to install Google’s Chrome browser if you don’t have it for the fact that you use other browser).
- After you have the extension up and running, you’ll be able see your friends’ available Stories at the top of the feed on the Instagram website just like in the smartphone app.
- Click the icon of the user whose Story you want to view and enjoy.
- You’ll see some arrow keys clicking which you can jump back and forth. The ‘Esc’ key takes you out of the gallery altogether.
- Right click on the icon of any user to download all of its content. Doing this will let you download all the photos and videos on that user’s story in zipped form.
By doing so, users will be able to enjoy Instagram stories on Google Chrome. To wrap up, I would say that it’s indeed a good news to know that the Instagram Stories content won’t vanish now instead when it comes to web, the content remains.
