You can do this using airplane mode and unblock their account. However, this method is not ideal. In order to watch someone&#8217;s story, you must close the Instagram app. This method is effective only if the person you&#8217;re watching is a friend. The other option is to put their phone into airplane mode and watch their stories that way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_someones_Instagram_story\"><\/span>Unblocking someone&#8217;s Instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone is annoying you by posting a story on your profile, you might want to consider unblocking them. While you can easily block people if they click on your stories, it may be better to block them only after they have viewed them. This is because you&#8217;ll never know who&#8217;s been following you, so a few days or weeks may be enough. Then you can follow them or deactivate your account to prevent the other person from blocking you again.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to unblock a blocked person is to disable your Internet connection. To do this, visit the profile of the blocked person and navigate to the Settings tab. Click Temporarily Disable My Account, and then enter the reason you&#8217;d like the person to be blocked. Confirm this action, and the blocked person will no longer be able to view your story for 24 hours. If you&#8217;ve blocked them before, you&#8217;ll want to do this as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Insta-Stories\"><\/span>Insta-Stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How can you look at someone&#8217;s Instagram story without letting them know? There are a few methods you can try. You can put your phone into airplane mode, which will prevent Instagram from registering your view. You can also watch multiple stories by the same user, without them knowing. Here&#8217;s how to do it. It&#8217;s easy. Just follow the steps below. You can watch a story without letting the other person know that you&#8217;re watching it.<\/p>\n<p>To view a person&#8217;s Instagram story without them knowing, you need to be their friend, but you can still sneak a peek at what they post on their profile without them knowing. Once you&#8217;re a friend, you can look at the stories of friends or family members. However, you&#8217;ll have to wait 24 hours before you unblock the other person&#8217;s account so they don&#8217;t find out you&#8217;re watching their story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airplane_Mode\"><\/span>Airplane Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Turn on the Airplane mode on your mobile device and watch your Instagram stories in a private space. While the app loads in airplane mode, it will not register any viewer activity, and you will need to refresh your Instagram feed and tap on the Story in question to view it. If the video doesn&#8217;t load, try Method 2 to force the Instagram app to stop using mobile data. If you can&#8217;t do it this way, try Method 3.<\/p>\n<p>Before turning off your Instagram app, make sure to enable Airplane mode. This will prevent Instagram from preloading your Stories. You may also find that this feature doesn&#8217;t work with some third-party apps and websites. Also, it&#8217;s not secure. If you have a public Instagram account, the stories will not load until you log in. Once the stories are loaded, you should go into Airplane mode.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anonymously_watching_someones_Instagram_story\"><\/span>Anonymously watching someone&#8217;s Instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to anonymously watch someone&#8217;s Instagram story. For the most part, you can use a third-party site. Using a website called StoriesIG, you can watch stories from other Instagram users who have public profiles. To use the website, all you need is the username of the person you want to watch. The website will then load the user&#8217;s Instagram stories, including those that have videos.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to watch someone&#8217;s Instagram story without being seen is to use a creeping or burner account. These types of accounts have been around for a while and allow you to sneak a peek. Although this method does require some technical knowledge, it&#8217;s worth a try. Kim Kardashian even admitted to using creeping accounts in a podcast interview. The trick is to make your target think that you are not watching their stories.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yrWIboQUm68\" width=\"510\" height=\"285\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Look at Someone&#8217;s Instagram Story Without Them Knowing How can you look at someone&#8217;s Instagram story without the person you&#8217;re watching knowing?
