StoryFetcher needs an account to look through before it can save anything. In the app, an account is one Instagram or Facebook sign-in. Want two Instagram accounts and a Facebook page? Fine. Each one keeps its own sign-in, so the family page and the studio account never get mixed up.

The Downloads screen. A card shows 10 of 10 free saves left on this device. Below it are an Instagram account and a Facebook account, each with a Sign in label, and an Add account button.
Downloads lists your accounts. The Add account button sits under them.
  1. Open Downloads.
  2. Tap Add account, or the + at the top.
  3. Choose Instagram or Facebook.
  4. Type a label, like Studio or Family page.
  5. Tap Continue to sign in.
The Add account sheet with the label Studio and Instagram chosen.
The Add account sheet with Instagram chosen and the label “Studio”.

The label is only for you. Instagram never sees it, so Studio (the good one) is a perfectly valid name. With four or five accounts in the list, a short label saves you some squinting.

How many accounts can you add? On the free plan, as many as you want. On a paid plan, the plan sets how many stay active at the same time, and Plans and access shows the number. When a plan ends, nothing gets deleted. You just pick which accounts stay active.

Right after you tap Continue, the real Instagram or Facebook sign-in page opens inside the app. Until you sign in, the account shows a Sign in label in Downloads.

Questions people ask

Do I need the Instagram or Facebook app installed?

No. You sign in inside StoryFetcher. It does not use the Instagram app, the Facebook app or your browser.

Can I add two Instagram accounts?

Yes. Give each one its own label. They live in separate storage and never touch each other.

Can I change the label later?

Not directly. Remove the account in Settings and add it again with the new label. It takes a minute.

How do I remove an account?

Settings, then Saved accounts, then Remove. That deletes its sign-in from the app. Your saved stories stay in your photo gallery.
