watch someone's insta story

Sort of. As I mentioned before, using airplane mode can be a way to try to be anonymous. But it's not a foolproof method. Instagram is constantly updating and may find ways to detect such attempts in the future.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's not ethical and could violate someone's privacy.

You can try using some third-party apps or extensions, but be careful as many of them might violate Instagram's terms of service and could put your account at risk.

Well, first, make sure you have an Instagram account. Then, if the person's profile is public, you'll see a colorful circle around their profile picture which indicates they have a story. Click on that circle and you can watch their story. If their account is private, you need to send them a follow request and wait for them to accept it before you can view their stories.

It is okay to watch someone's Insta story without them knowing if the account is public. Instagram doesn't send a notification to the story creator about individual viewers for public stories. However, if the account is private and you're one of the approved viewers, the person can see that you've watched their story. But just watching a story without any malicious intent, like stalking or using the information inappropriately, is a normal part of how Instagram works. It's all about respecting the privacy settings and the nature of the platform.

No, once an Instagram story has expired, it's not possible to view it through the normal Instagram interface. Instagram is set up this way to encourage users to post fresh content regularly and to maintain the ephemeral nature of stories.

You can't. It's not ethical and might violate the platform's terms of use.

Well, generally, Instagram shows the list of people who watched a story to the person who posted it. However, there are some privacy settings and workarounds. For example, if you view the story anonymously using third - party apps (which might violate Instagram's terms), the person may not be able to tell it's you. But if you use the normal Instagram app to watch, they can find out. Also, if they have a large number of viewers, they might not notice that you specifically watched their story, but the information is there for them to see if they look.

I think it's not possible for them to know for sure. Instagram doesn't notify the person if you just view their story.
