How can I watch old stories?

Another option could be if the person who posted the story has a business or creator account and has archived their stories. They might be able to make those archived stories available again for viewing, but this is completely up to the account owner and not something you can control as a viewer.

Sure, you might be able to if they're available on some platform or if you have saved them yourself.
