Instagram Stories are not permanently deleted from the app. After 24 hours, they disappear from public view but are archived. You can access them by going to your profile, tapping the menu icon, and selecting 'Archive.' Here, you can view, save, or reshare your past stories. If you manually delete a story, it’s removed from both public view and the archive, making it permanently unrecoverable.
