Use a separate Instagram account that does not reveal your identity
View the story while logged out only if the story is public and accessible without login
Use Instagram’s web version in a browser with a different account
Turn on airplane mode after the story preloads, then close the app before reconnecting
Use a third-party story viewer website for public accounts
Ask a trusted friend to view it for you
Avoid interacting with the story, since taps and replies can reveal activity
Be aware that many third-party tools are unreliable or unsafe
Respect privacy and follow Instagram’s terms of service
