How to watch Instagram Stories anonymously WITHOUT being seen

WHETHER it’s a secret crush you want to check out or you simply like your privacy, Instagram Stories annoyingly expose you.

Whenever you open a person’s story, it shows the account owner, even if they’re not friends.

If they have a second account, you’ll have to be friends with the person if their account is private.

Use an Instagram Stories viewer

There are several sites that fetch all the stories for you.

Again, the account will need to be a public one for it to work.

Stories Down, Anon IG Viewer and Insta Stories are just some that do the trick.
