Frequently Asked Questions

Will the person know if I save their Story?

No. dOwner uses external URL analysis — your account does not appear in their Story viewers list.

Can I save a Story after 24 hours?

No. Once the public URL expires, the Story is no longer accessible. Save it while it's still live.

Can I save Highlights?

Yes. Highlights are not time-limited, so you can copy their URL and save them using the same method.

Can I save Stories from private accounts?

No. Private accounts are only accessible to approved followers. dOwner only processes public URLs.

⚠️ Important

  • • Private account Stories cannot be downloaded.
  • • Do not distribute others' Stories without permission — this may violate copyright law.
  • • Downloaded Stories are for personal archiving only.
