Instagram, being one of the most used social networks in the world, not only has a mobile application, but also has its own website. Both options allow you to do various things, such as uploading photos and videos, commenting on photos and images from different accounts, giving likes, sharing posts, and more. It is also possible see the stories of users you follow through these two options, and then we tell you how to do it online.
You can not only view Instagram stories online conventionally, but also through various tools. Here we tell you which ones you can use and also if you can do it anonymously and how.
Through the Instagram website
First of all, let's go with the most conventional way to see the stories of friends and users on Instagram, which is using the official website of the social network. This is how you can do it:
- Use your preferred web browser and enter instagram.com in the address bar or enter directly with this link. You can also simply put the word “instagram” in a search engine like Google and enter the web page through the results.
- Then enter your account data, which are the username and password, and tap Sign in. If you don't have an account, you must create one first. To do this, click on the Sign up button and fill in the fields with your information or, alternatively, log in with your Facebook account (if you have one), by clicking on Log in with Facebook.
- Then, once you are logged in to the browser, you will find, at the top, the profile photos of the accounts you follow on the main interface of the website. Click on these and see the stories, without further ado.
Through external online tools
There are many websites that allow you to view Instagram stories online. Some work like external clients to the web, but with similar and imitation functions, while others provide features that allow, among other things, to view the stories of the accounts you follow completely anonymously and without logging in. In this way, the users of the few you follow will not be able to know that you saw their stories since your registered user will not appear in the views panel.
View Instagram stories anonymously
One of the most used online tools for viewing Instagram stories anonymously is StoriesIG. It doesn't require you to log in; You will only need the user of the account from which you want to see their stories. However, it's not just for viewing stories anonymously and without logging in; It also gives the option to download the content of the feed of the accounts entered through its search bar, as well as photos and videos.
It also allows you to view profile information, as well as the followers that said account has, the posts it has uploaded and the number of followers it has, as well as its biography, as shown in the Instagram mobile application and on its official website.
To watch stories anonymously through StoriesIG, follow these steps:
- Enter StoriesIG through this link.
- Once there, locate the search bar, it is the one shown in the center.
- Then enter any Instagram account username without the “@”. Of course, keep in mind that the account has to be public; Otherwise, if it is private, the search engine will indicate so and the tool will not be able to analyze the uploaded stories, much less the posts or any other user information.
- Now, after having entered the public user, press the Enter key or the “Search” or “Search” button that is next to the search bar.
- After a few seconds, The results of the stories uploaded by the account you entered will appear. If that account has not uploaded stories in the last 24 hours, simply no results will appear, although the account will still appear and you will be able to see their posts, information and all the content they have previously uploaded.
On the other hand, you can not only view the stories and profile of any public account through StoriesIG, but also you can also download the photos, videos and reels you have uploaded. Below each post and story, you can find the Download button, which is where we can download whatever we want.
There are also other websites that allow you to view the stories and content of a public profile anonymously, for free and without having to create an account on Instagram and log in. This has the same name as the one already described, which is StoriesIG, but, being from another website, it has a different address. You can access it through this link.
This other tool to view Instagram stories online too allows you to download the stories and feed content of the account you want, as long as it is public, it is worth emphasizing again. Simply click on the stories that appear or on any photos and videos, and then look for the download button, which appears above them, in the windows that will open. Then wait a few seconds and the download will appear on the download site on your computer or mobile. If you can't, you can take a look at the recent folder on your computer or, alternatively, look for the downloaded photos or videos through the download section of your browser.
