HOW TO WATCH ANOTHER'S INSTAGRAM STORIES WHILE NOT GETTING CATCHED

How to watch someone's Instagram stories without getting caught

By in.inmediaPublished 4 years ago 4 min read

You may need to keep an eye on a partner, former friend, or professional rival.

It's easy to spy on someone digitally, provided they have their accounts open to the public and have not blocked you.

Insta-stalking someone is difficult because you can't bypass the Instagram Story viewer and get caught while viewing Stories. Unintentionally tapping on someone else's Stories can be almost as disastrous as accidentally liking an old Instagram photo.

How can you see someone's Instagram Stories and not be able to tell that they are watching you? Is this possible?

Yes, it is.

We have three ways to spy on an Instagram Story without being caught. These are just a few of the options. (These techniques won't work if your Instagram account isn't blocked).

1.How to Anonymously View Instagram Stories from a Computer

This is the easiest way to see someone's Instagram Stories, without them even knowing.

Simply visit storiesig.com and type your account handle in the search box. Then hit the enter key.

If the handle is correctly spelled, it should be displayed below the search bar. This will include the profile photo and the number of Stories that are visible on the account's Instagram profile. Also, the date when the last photo or video was uploaded.

Scroll down and click on the profile picture. You can view their Instagram Stories anonymously and save them by clicking on the "Download" button beneath each Story.

This method doesn't require you to have an Instagram account or download any third-party apps. You can still view and download Stories from the accounts you are trying to spy on, even if they have blocked you.

Sneaky, sneaky.

This is especially useful for digital marketers, influencers agency and brands who want to save Instagram Stories to their computers for reporting and coverage after campaigns.

2.How to Secretly View Instagram Stories on an iPhone

You don't have to view someone's Instagram Stories anonymously from your computer or laptop. There's an alternative way.

Download Story Reposter from Apple's App Store. Log in using your Instagram account details.

Type the account name you wish to anonymly view in the search bar. Don't worry if you misspelled the account name or aren't sure what the correct handle is.

The app will show you a list with accounts that match your keyword. This makes it easy to find the account you are looking for even if you make a spelling mistake.

Click on the username to select the account you want to creep.

The folder will show you how many Stories they have posted in the last 24 hours and when they last posted them.

Tap it to see individual Stories anonymously without your account being aware that you are viewing their content.

If the Instagram user that you are trying to spy on has blocked your account, this method won't work. You can create a second Instagram account for Story Reposter if you are blocked. Or, use storiesig.com to view their Stories.

3.How to Secretly View Instagram Stories on an Android Phone

You want to spy on the Stories of another Instagram account using your Android phone.

Story Saver for Instagram must be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

Sign in to the app with your Instagram account details.

How to Watch an Instagram Story Without Knowing It

After you log in, you will see a search icon at the upper right. Tap the search icon and enter the handle of the Instagram account that you want to track.

Tap their profile picture once it appears below the search bar to view their Instagram Stories anonymously in a feed format.

Tap on an icon square to view or play a specific Story.

Then, you will be asked to "Repost", “Save” or "Share” the particular Story.

Click "Save" to save the video clip/picture for your mobile device.

The Instagram user won't know you are viewing their Stories, and you can view it in your gallery.

You can also repost the Story on Instagram or share it elsewhere.

If the Instagram user that you are trying to spy on has blocked your account, this method won't work. You can create a second Instagram account for Story Saver if you are blocked. Or, use storiesig.com to view their Stories.

Hold on. . . Why would you want to see someone's Instagram Stories? ?

An anonymous Instagram account can be viewed for a variety of reasons. It doesn't have to do with spying on someone or stalking someone.

Marketers and brands may want to conduct anonymous research before approaching influencers for campaigns. This includes anonymizingly researching Stories content. A influencer might want to spy on another account's Stories in order to see if someone is copying or stealing their content.

If someone feels they are being bullied or slandered on another Instagram account's Stories account, they may want to discreetly keep a record without notifying the account owner.

It can be very useful to know how to view an anonymous person's Instagram Stories.
