## How to anonymously view stories in a private Instagram* profile
It is not possible to anonymously view or download stories in a private Instagram* profile. All applications and services provide the ability to view someone else's stories only if the account is open to public access.
However, there is still one way. You can create an account under a fake name and with a fake profile picture. In this case, the profile owner will know that the stories were watched by a certain Vasya Pupkin, but who is behind this name, they will not know. The main thing is not to enable contact synchronization when registering a new account, otherwise, there will be no anonymity.
Bonus: in airplane mode
Log into the Instagram* application on your smartphone, then enable airplane mode. Now you can launch the stories you want to view.
Before you turn on the usual mode on your phone, exit the application — so the account owner will not know that you have visited their page.
Thus, you can anonymously view stories on Instagram* on any device — whether from a phone or on a computer. However, it should be remembered: some services require payment for this opportunity, some may be blocked, but a significant part works quickly and without interruption.
You can follow someone else's page incognito only if the profile is public. Otherwise, you will first need to “friend” them and then view stories and photos.
