How to see stories on Instagram without being seen

You have been subscribed to Instagram for a very long time and have now acquired a certain familiarity in using the main features of this social network. You’ve become very adept at posting quality photos, using hashtags well, and building a respectable following. However, there are some things you haven’t fully understood yet.

To get a little more into the matter, you still haven’t figured out how to see stories on Instagram without being seen. Several times, in fact, you have wondered where is the setting that allows you to “browse incognito” among the stories posted by other users, but you have never been able to find an answer to your question. Well, if you weren’t able to find it, it’s for a very simple reason: there is no native setting that allows you to do that!

In any case, don’t worry: it is possible to carry out the operation in question using some third-party solutions, such as some smartphone apps and online services that can be used directly from the browser, which I am about to tell you about in this tutorial. You will see that, at the end of the reading, you will be able to reach your goal and become “invisible” in the visualization of the Instagram stories of the people you follow. Enjoy your reading and have fun!

See stories on Instagram without being seen by your PC

A rather effective solution to see the stories on Instagram without being seen is to use some online services that work with all the main browsers (both from computers and from smartphones and tablets), which allow you to download the contents of the stories and view them without let the users who created them know. Of course, this is only feasible with stories created by public accounts and not by private ones, for which you always need a permission to view the contents.

Insta-Stories

The first solution that I recommend you to try wondering how to view stories on Instagram without being seen is Insta-stories. This service, characterized by a simple and minimal interface, allows you to easily see photos and videos published in the stories of public Instagram profiles.

How to use? It’s very simple: first, go to the main page of Insta-Stories.online , type the username of the user you want to “spy on” in the appropriate text field (without the @ symbol ) and press Enter on the keyboard.

On the page that opens, select the Stories tab and press on the preview images of the stories to view them. In addition to viewing the stories, you can also download them by pressing the Download button located in the upper right corner.

Dumpor

Another solution that allows you to view, and possibly save, the contents of the Instagram stories of others is Dumpor.

To use it, the first thing you need to do is go to its home page and write the username of the account you are interested in (you can also use the formula @username ) in the text field located in the center of the page. Once this is done, press the Search button .

Subsequently, select the profile of your interest among the search results that are shown to you and press the Show button @ username Stories .

At this point, if the user in question has posted content in the stories, you will be able to view them anonymously by clicking on their preview . Then by pressing on the button with the arrow symbol at the bottom, which you can find in the upper right corner of the open contents, you can save the latter offline. Convenient, right?

App to see stories on Instagram without being seen

Do you use Instagram mainly on your smartphone and, therefore, would you like to know some apps to watch the stories of other users without being discovered ? No problem, I’ll settle you immediately. Again, of course, the solutions are only functional to monitor public profiles, not private ones.

Save Stories (Android)

If you have an Android device , I recommend you try Save Stories, an app that you can download from the Play Store or from alternative stores , if you have a device without Google services.

This app, as easily understood from its name, allows you to view anonymously and also to save stories from public Instagram accounts. How to use? I’ll explain it to you right away. First, however, allow me to explain to you that the app can be used for free, but that to remove the advertising banners you need to purchase the paid version, which costs € 2.39 one-time.

After installing and starting Save Stories , accept the terms relating to the privacy policy by checking the relevant box and pressing the Agree button .

Then press the Login with Instagram button , tap the Accept item and log in to your Instagram account . Don’t worry – Instagram Stories will be viewed anonymously and the user in question won’t know you’ve seen them. However, the fact remains that it is an unofficial app and, even if there are no elements that suggest the good faith of the developers, it could represent a potential risk for privacy: use such solutions only in case of strict necessity.

Once logged in, tap on the magnifying glass icon (top right), type the username of the person you are interested in (without the @ symbol ) in the appropriate text field and tap on the account you want see the stories.

Alternatively, if it is a person you already follow, if this has published new stories you will see their username appear in the main screen of the app ( Story Feed ): in this case, just press on them to see their story.

To see the published stories of a user, after pressing on his name, select the Story tab (at the top), tap on the preview of the content of your interest and that’s it. In the new screen that will be shown to you, you can also download the content in question by pressing the Download button . Useful, right?

iStory (iOS / iPadOS)

If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can turn to iStory . This app downloadable for free from the App Store has an extremely simple and intuitive operation and, after logging in to your Instagram account, guarantees the possibility of anonymously viewing the stories created by public accounts.

There are no limits in the stories that can be viewed, but to eliminate advertising you have to purchase the paid version, which costs € 4.49 one-time. Apply the recommendations about the policy that brought you to the Android app mentioned earlier: servitene only when absolutely necessary.

After installing and starting iStory on your device, press the Login with Instagram button and log in to your account. Once this is done, press the Search button , at the bottom, type the username for the account whose stories you want to see anonymously in the text field at the top and press the Search button.

At this point, in the menu that is shown to you, select the profile of your interest, select the Story tab and check if there is any content available in this section. If so, you can see them by pressing on their previews and possibly save them: to perform the latter operation, after opening one of the contents in the stories, press the button (…) located at the top right and select the Download item from the opened menu .

To complete the operation, you may also be asked to allow the app to access files on your device.

How to see stories on Instagram without getting noticed

If you do not intend to use the aforementioned solutions, you can opt for an alternative route: create a second account to use to “spy” on your friends and the people you follow on Instagram without them noticing (obviously this account must not have elements that allow you to trace your identity, otherwise what use would it be to create it?).

If you don’t remember how to create a new account on Instagram, you can read the tutorial I published on the subject: there you will find all the information you need.

After creating your “secondary” Instagram account, add it to the Instagram app installed on your smartphone, or connect it to the official website of the social network . Below I’ll explain how to do it.

• Androidand iPhone : after opening the Instagram app , tap on the thumbnail of your profile photo (bottom right), press the button (≡) (top right) and select the Settings item in the opened menu. Then scroll the displayed screen, presses on the word Add account and press on the items Add account> Log in to the existing account .
• Weband Windows 10 : after logging in to your Instagram account, click on your profile picture and then press on the items Change account> Log in to an existing account .

Having done the above procedures, you just have to access your second Instagram account , indicating the login data of your secondary account in the appropriate text fields and then tapping on the Login button .

Once logged in, from smartphones and tablets you can easily switch between accounts by holding your finger on the thumbnail of the profile photo of the account in use and pressing on the username of the profile to be used.

From the web and using the Instagram application for Windows 10, instead, to switch from one account to another, click on the thumbnail of your profile, then on the words Change account and, finally, press on the name of the account to use.

Watch Instagram stories without being seen private profile

As mentioned, in the event that the user for whom you are interested in seeing the stories anonymously has set their profile as private , you will not be able to use the websites or apps I told you about in this tutorial, as they are solutions dedicated to anonymous viewing of the stories of public profiles.

However, you can put into practice the alternative solution that I have provided you, namely the one relating to the creation of a second account , to be added to the Instagram app or to the web version of the photographic social network.

In this specific case, however, to see the content posted by the user in question, you will have to send him the request to follow him . If he agrees, you will actually be able to view his stories with your second account.

If, on the other hand, he does not accept the request, you will not be able to view any information about his profile. Also note that some Instagram features allow you to hide stories from specific users.
