Ethics of saving stories — personal memories or public content?
Last week a friend posted a story with a video of us from a party, and I wanted to save it because it was a fun memory. But I wasn’t sure if it’s okay to keep it without asking first, since stories are kind of meant to disappear. On one hand, it feels like a personal keepsake, but on the other, it’s still something they chose to share only temporarily. Do you guys ever feel weird about saving stories like that?

I’ve thought about that too. I save stories sometimes when they have a recipe or a tip I know I’ll need later, but I don’t repost them. To me, it feels fine if it’s just for myself, but I wouldn’t share someone else’s moment without their okay. If it’s something I want to keep long-term, I just use SnapInsta since it makes it easy to download stories without losing quality. My general rule: saving privately is fine, sharing needs permission.
