Yes, you can download a Facebook story with StoryFetcher. But Facebook does things its own way (when doesn’t it?), so the flow is different from Instagram. Facebook opens in a browser inside the app. You open a story on the Facebook page, and StoryFetcher adds a save control to it.

The Facebook sign-in page inside StoryFetcher. A note above the page reads: Sign in on the page. Your password stays in this app.
A Facebook account opens Facebook’s own page inside the app. Sign in there first.
  1. Add a Facebook account and sign in.
  2. Open the account in Downloads. The browser opens.
  3. Open a story on the page. The hint at the top reads Open a story, then tap the page’s save control.
  4. Tap the save control. On Android a preview opens first, and you tap the save button there.
  5. Wait for the app to confirm the story is saved.
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.
Once you are signed in, open the Facebook account from Downloads.

Everything you see in that browser is Facebook’s page. StoryFetcher only adds its frame and the save control. That also means the page can change any time Facebook redesigns something. If the save control goes missing, tap the refresh button and open the story again. That fixes it most of the time.

There is no remove button in the browser. To remove a Facebook account, go to Settings, as Where your sign-in is kept shows.

Questions people ask

Can I save stories from Facebook pages and groups?

If your signed-in Facebook account can open the story, and you have the right to keep it, yes.

Why isn’t there a story list like on Instagram?

Facebook works through its own page inside the app. You find the story there and tap the save control.

Do Facebook saves count as free saves?

Yes. Instagram and Facebook share the same 10 free saves per device. Only saves that reach your photo gallery count.
