How to view Instagram Stories anonymously

Read about three methods for viewing Instagram Stories incognito.

When viewing Instagram Stories, it is important to note that the user who posted the story can see who viewed it. In general, this does not cause problems, but there may be a situation when you need to view someone's Stories unnoticed.

There are several ways to view stories without giving the person who posted them the opportunity to find out who viewed them. In fairness, it is worth noting that all of these methods have varying degrees of reliability.

Note: to view stories anonymously, you must be a follower of the account. Otherwise, the methods below will only work for public accounts.

Use an anonymous Instagram account

Perhaps the best way to view someone else's Instagram Stories anonymously is to use an Instagram account that doesn't automatically identify you.

If you already have another account, it's as simple as adding an account to Instagram and switching between them whenever you want to view someone's Instagram Stories without them knowing.

If you don't have a separate account, you'll need to create a new account before adding it to the app.

Turn on Airplane Mode

You can view someone else's Instagram Stories anonymously by making sure that your mobile device is in Airplane Mode before tapping on them.

Since Instagram automatically downloads multiple stories for instant viewing, even when you're not on a secure Wi-Fi or network connection, he can theoretically view one story unnoticed.

For this to work, you need to:

• open the Instagram account profile on your smartphone (tablet);
• turn on airplane mode;
• return to the application and click on the user's stories.

If the user has added too many stories at once, most likely, you will not be able to view them all, since they will not load due to the active "airplane mode".

Use third-party applications or sites

There are a number of third-party applications and sites that supposedly allow you to view someone else's Instagram Stories anonymously, without having to log in. Many of these sites are not particularly secure, and some don't even work, so you should use them with caution.

If you still want to use such an application or site, you should try InstaStories. During the test, this site successfully allowed you to view the stories of a public account without notifying the owner about the viewing. To view an account anonymously, just enter its name on the site's main page. It is worth noting that this site only works with public accounts and does not provide access to the stories of private accounts.
