Brilio.net - Instagram users are currently faced with quite worrying news. The reason is that the social media owned by Meta Companies is reported to be deleting the story archive feature permanently. This incident is of particular concern to Instagram users because stories that have been deleted cannot be restored.
Meta revealed that the deletion of Instagram archives occurred due to a bug or error in their system. Although a fix is being made, unfortunately the stories that have been affected by the bug cannot be restored.
This certainly makes many users feel disappointed and worried, especially for those of you who often rely on this feature to save important moments. The previous archive feature allowed users to save stories that had been uploaded and view them at any time.

If Instagram really removes this feature, it is important to know how to protect your story archive from being completely lost. One solution is to secure photos and videos to Google Drive.
So how do you secure photos and videos on Google Drive ? Let's see the full review below, adapted by brilio.net from various sources, Thursday (26/9).
