If a person has hidden Stories on Instagram, then you need to determine how exactly: for a specific person or closed the account. In the first case, online services, creating an account and mobile applications that open anonymous viewing will help. In the second - only an additional account.
In 2016, Instagram underwent a major update. It became possible to publish
photos and videos with the ability to track those who viewed them. Stories
gave bloggers new opportunities:
● increasing reach;
● active interaction with the audience;
● increasing audience loyalty;
● evaluation of active subscribers.
But the desire to view a record often borders on the search for
an opportunity to remain anonymous. So they secretly want to view stories
on the account of old friends and girlfriends, former lovers, colleagues
or enemies. Options for how to secretly watch Instagram stories:
Anonymous viewing of stories is possible using several options.
Most often, they choose the one that will help quickly spy on the activities
of another person, without wasting time on downloading and registering.
Be a stranger – use not yours profile
The easiest way to secretly watch stories is to create an additional
"dummy" profile. Registration may take time, a mobile phone number. But with
the help of special sites, you can buy a cheap account.
It's time to become a spy!
Online spy services will allow you to view the stories of
the desired account without opening the application. The advantages
of the method include:
● the ability to download;
● view both active stories and those in the Current;
● view hashtags, geolocation and text.
May not work correctly with profiles that have activated privacy
settings. Different services have different functionality. They are
often subject to blocking, so it is better to have several options
in reserve.
When viewing online, the author of the story may display an
empty page icon; when downloading, you can hide views. If the topic
starter has more than twelve stories, then both full and partial downloading
is possible due to service errors.
Apps for hidden viewing are a dubious method. They don't always allow
you to remain invisible. If you have already logged into your profile
on your phone, then viewing is often done from there.
Apps for viewing other people's stories are less reliable
and convenient than online services. But if the browser is not working
correctly and there is no access to the computer, then this is one
of the working options. Errors are possible when trying to interact
with a closed profile.
A similar extension that allows you to open stories without displaying the view
is installed on Google Chrome. The advantages of such software:
● free, correctly working extension;
● anonymous viewing and search of records;
● downloading stories;
● work with open and closed accounts.
It only works on a computer, you cannot install and use the extension
on a smartphone. Next to the list of stories, you can click on the
eye icon and activate "Anonymous Viewing Enabled". The author will
not see who viewed the entry, since Instagram does not count such views.
Users note that the extension can spontaneously turn off when you restart
your computer or browser. So you can accidentally view the story from
an activated profile, and not hidden. Therefore, after launching the
browser, it is useful to check whether the extension for anonymous
viewing is active.
You can hide your own account visits and view the story unnoticed using a Telegram
bot. You will need to register in the application and search for the
bot. The disadvantages include the fact that the viewing is not invisible.
The author will see +1 view from an unknown account. If he
goes to the bot account, he will find just a clean "dummy" page, not
tied to a specific person.
Using Telegram bots has its drawbacks. So, if the service
is not working correctly, failures are possible, only part of the stories
are issued. In rare cases, the bot can send content from a blogger
other than the one requested.
Problems arise when working with closed profiles, many stories
(from 10 pieces). When a bot account is blocked, you must wait for
its functionality to be restored.
Depends on which method is used. If it is a bot, then the icon will appear and the view will be counted, if an extension or service is used, then this will not be reflected in the statistics. Instagram simply does not take these views into account, applications and bots use empty pages. Such actions are standard for the social network. The author may not even see an increase in the number of views. There is no antidote to anonymizers.
