Are you trying to view an Instagram story anonymously? This isn't a feature that Instagram currently has, but there are a few workarounds to watching a story without the poster knowing. Avoid third-party apps, as these can cause more problems for you (by either getting your Instagram account disabled or getting your information stolen). In this article, we'll go over 5 ways you can view an Instagram story anonymously without needing third-party apps.
How to Watch Instagram Stories Anonymously
The easiest way is to make a new account with a fake identity. Don't use an email connected to any of your social media accounts to sign up, and make sure you are on a VPN or mobile data to avoid getting flagged by Instagram. Otherwise, try using Airplane Mode or a story downloader site like storysaver.net.

Warnings
- Using third-party apps is very risky, as they're against Instagram's ToS and can get your account disabled. Also, most third-party apps ask for your login information, which can lead to your account or personal information being stolen.
- Remember to respect the privacy of other users. If you're caught trying to anonymously view stories from someone who's asked you to leave them alone, you could get into trouble if that person reports you for harassment.
