If you need to view someone's Instagram* Stories without the account owner's knowledge, use one of these methods. Anonymity is guaranteed.

Method 1, Fake

This is the easiest way to view someone else's story on Instagram*. To use it, you just need to create another account, of course, under a different name and with someone else's photo. To make the profile look less suspicious, add a profile description and post a few posts.

The downside of a fake account: you can only watch stories anonymously if the owner accepts a follow request from your fake identity;

Method 2, Block

The second method is to view Stories and immediately block the owner of the account you are interested in. Keep the user on the blacklist until the story is archived. You can also temporarily delete your account and restore it after a day. In both cases, the author of the Stories will not see you in the view list.

Method 3, Service

Anonymous viewing of stories on Instagram* is possible with the help of special services. There are quite a few on the Internet right now, including both paid and registration-required ones, as well as free ones available without registration. Here are just a few of them.

InstaStoriesViewer

The service allows you to anonymously view and download stories, highlights, streams, posts, and photos. The only condition is that the Instagram* profile must be public.

To use the service, simply enter the username in the format @username in the search bar.

StoriesIG

The service is also completely free and works on the same principle: you need to enter the username or the link to their profile—and you can view everything for free and anonymously.

Method 4, Bot-based

You can view Instagram* stories anonymously with the help of bots. Especially now, bots of different purposes are quite popular. Almost all bots operate on the same scheme: you need to copy the link to the profile, paste it into the dialog box—and you can view Stories. Here are a few such bots.

With this bot, you can view and download stories and reels from Instagram*. Additionally, it allows downloading media from this social network, as well as music and videos from TikTok.

By the way, you can post on Instagram* using a social media management service. This does not require installing any additional software.

*Meta, the company that owns the social networks Facebook and Instagram, is recognized as an extremist organization in Russia and is banned in the country.
