5 Ways to View Instagram Stories Anonymously

Here are five possible ways to view Instagram stories anonymously:

1. Create an Anonymous Account:

Sign up for a new Instagram account. Go to www.Insatgram.com. While signing up, add the new name and set a new password. This account allows you to follow the targeted accounts without revealing your identity. However, remember that the account user will be notified of following him. It’s better to have a random username for your new Instagram account.

2. Turn on Airplane Mode:

Go to the targeted Instagram account. Let the stories appear on their profile icon. Once the profile icon is highlighted by stories, turn on your airplane mode. This way, you will be disconnected from the internet, and you can prevent the stories from being marked as “seen.” However, this method may not work for long as Instagram could update its system to mark stories as viewed once the connection is restored.

3. Use Instagram’s “Close Friends” feature:

If the account owner has added you to their “Close Friends” list, you can view their stories without your name appearing on the viewer list. However, this method requires the account owner to manually add you to their “Close Friends” list.

4. Use a Third-Party App or Website:

Some third-party tools claim to allow you to view Instagram stories anonymously. These tools require you to log in with your Instagram account and then provide you with a private browsing mode to view stories anonymously. However, be careful; these tools may violate Instagram’s terms of service and compromise your account security.

A few recommended tools are:

StorySaver. Net

Insta Navigation

Insta Stories Viewers

Third party tool

5. Slide and View From Adjacent Stories:

Instead of viewing Instagram stories directly, you can view the story of another account right beside it. Instagram plays stories one after another, so you can swap to catch a glimpse of the next account’s story without fully viewing it. This way, you can know the account’s story without putting your name into the “Seen” list.

These five ways will help you view Instagram stories without disclosing your identity or presence.

Remember, it’s important to respect people’s privacy and stick to the terms of service of any platform you use.
