  • Typically, the user who posted a story to Instagram

  • is able to see who viewed it.

  • But here are two ways

  • to view an Instagram story anonymously.

  • Using an Instagram account

  • that isn't automatically identifiable as you

  • might be the best way to stay anonymous.

  • If you already have an account,

  • you can easily add another and switch between the two.

  • Tap on your profile name and then "Add account."

  • Tap "Create New Account."

  • Follow the prompts to set up an account,

  • and make sure your username and profile picture

  • doesn't include your name or face.

  • Signed in to your new account,

  • view the Instagram story,

  • and the person will only see the new account details.

  • The caveat here is that the account

  • you want to view the story on must be public,

  • or else they'll have to add your new account

  • as a friend to grant you access.

  • You can turn airplane mode on

  • just before viewing a story to enable anonymous viewing.

  • Connected to the internet,

  • go to the profile whose story you want to watch.

  • Turn on airplane mode.

  • Now tap to view the story.
