Do you want to see Instagram Stories without them knowing? There are a few solutions you can use and we'll show you how to implement them.
Can you see someone's Instagram stories without having an account?
First, you need to be logged into an account Instagram to view someone's Instagram Stories. This rule is enforced by Instagram in order to track the users who view each Story.
Please note that the rule mentioned does not apply to regular posts and Reels on Instagram . You can view a person's Instagram profile and these posts without having to log in to an account on the platform.

How to view someone's Instagram Stories anonymously?
Instagram doesn't offer an official option to view someone's Stories without an account. However, there are some workarounds that help you view Stories anonymously, without revealing your identity.
Solution 1: Use another Instagram account
One way to watch someone's Instagram Stories without revealing identity is to use another Instagram account. You can create a new account or use an existing (secondary) account that the person whose Story you want to view doesn't know about.
Instagram will of course show your username to the user whose Story you have watched, but your actual account name will not be visible.

Solution 2: Use Airplane Mode on Your iPhone or Android
Another method to view someone's Instagram Stories anonymously is to use your phone 's airplane mode . This method is not official, but you can use it like this: You turn on your phone's airplane mode, view the user's Story, and then turn it off . Disconnecting from the internet while watching the Story means that Instagram doesn't notify the user that you've viewed their Story.
- To use this method, open the Instagram on your iPhone or Android phone.
- Go to the profile of the user whose story you want to watch.
- When you are on the profile page , turn on your phone's airplane mode
- With airplane mode enabled, tap the user's story to watch it.
- When you're done watching the Instagram Story, close the Instagram app on your phone.
- Make sure you completely close the app. Don't just minimize it.
- Finally, turn off your phone's airplane mode and reconnect to the internet. Instagram will not notify the user that you have viewed their Story.
