No, it's not possible to watch someone's Instagram story anonymously. Instagram shows who has viewed a story, so the person whose story it is will be able to see that you've viewed it.
Well, there are a few steps. If you already follow the person on Instagram, their story will show up in your feed at the top, usually with their profile picture having a colorful border. Click on that to start watching. However, if it's a new account you want to follow for their stories, find their profile either by searching their username or through mutual friends. Then, if it's public, you can see their stories right away. If private, follow them and hope they accept so you can watch their IG stories.
You can use some third-party apps that claim to offer anonymous viewing, but be careful as they might violate IG's terms of service and could be unsafe.
It's not recommended or ethical to do that. Instagram has its privacy policies, and trying to watch someone's story anonymously could violate those rules.
To watch IG story without someone knowing, you might look into some third-party apps. But be cautious as they often violate the platform's terms of service and could lead to account suspension.
It's easy. Just go to the person's profile on IG story and look for the block option. Usually, it's in the settings or options menu related to that person.
