If you&#8217;re using Airplane mode, then you can read this article to find out how to view stories without someone knowing. By using Airplane mode, you can access any Instagram account, including stories. It&#8217;s not as difficult as it sounds. All you have to do is use the &#8216;half swipe&#8217; method to do so.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airplane_mode\"><\/span>Airplane mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to peek at someone&#8217;s Instagram story without them knowing, there is a simple way to do so. To view someone&#8217;s story privately, you must be a friend. You can then set your phone to airplane mode to avoid Instagram registering the view. This will prevent you from being able to see the story until you unpause the app and turn off airplane mode.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to view someone&#8217;s Instagram story without them knowing. One of the easiest ways is to use Airplane mode. You can access Airplane mode from the Control Center or the Quick Settings in the Notification Shade. After you have accessed the Airplane mode settings, open the story you want to view and swipe down to exit. Then, you can exit the Airplane mode and close the Instagram application. Instagram will not know that you viewed their story and will show it as unseen. However, there are some drawbacks to this method.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"InstaStories\"><\/span>InstaStories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to view someone&#8217;s Instagram story without them ever knowing, you&#8217;re not alone. This feature is one of the best parts of Instagram, but it can also be the most frustrating because you might not be able to DM them and let them know you saw their story. To solve this problem, there are a few ways to view another person&#8217;s stories without them knowing.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, try watching a story before it ends. To do this, you need to know the duration of their story. After determining the duration, you should use the following method:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Burner_account\"><\/span>Burner account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been wondering how to view someone&#8217;s Instagram story without them knowing, you can do so without them knowing. First, make sure that you follow the person who created the story. If not, you can use Airplane Mode, which leaves no trace. This mode is simple to use, but it&#8217;s also very easy to get wrong. By default, Airplane Mode disables other features on your phone, including making phone calls and receiving messages.<\/p>\n<p>This method works for public accounts, as you need to follow the person first before you can view their story. You can use a burner account to view someone&#8217;s Instagram story without them knowing. This method requires that you follow the person, but it won&#8217;t leave a trace. This method is also useful if you don&#8217;t want to make the person feel uncomfortable, as you&#8217;re likely to get blocked if they don&#8217;t approve of your actions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Viewing_stories_in_Airplane_mode\"><\/span>Viewing stories in Airplane mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to view Instagram stories without your followers knowing is to switch to flight mode in your phone. Airplane mode prevents Instagram from registering story views, so if you want to see someone&#8217;s story in private, you have to first remove yourself from that list. To do this, simply refresh your Instagram feed and tap on the story. You can then continue to watch the story anonymously if you like.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have installed this app, you can now view any Instagram story you want, as long as you have a strong enough desire. Just make sure that you have a secondary account to spy on other users&#8217; Stories. You can spy on both private and public accounts. Once you have the secondary account, follow the steps above. While the process may be slightly more time-consuming, it&#8217;s well worth the effort to spy on the people you want to see.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_InstaStories\"><\/span>Using InstaStories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most annoying aspects of Instagram is the fact that you can&#8217;t watch a story of someone without them knowing. If you don&#8217;t like the person&#8217;s story, you may not have the guts to DM them to let them know that you&#8217;re looking at their stories. Fortunately, there are some tricks you can use to watch someone&#8217;s stories without them knowing.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to watch someone&#8217;s Instagram story is to follow the account of the person you want to view. There are several third-party tools available on the internet that will allow you to view a story without them knowing. They also allow you to save and share their stories. If you want to watch a story without blocking the person, you can use a third-party tool.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_burner_account\"><\/span>Using burner account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using a burner account to view someone&#8217;s Instagram story without them knowing is a fantastic way to spy on other people&#8217;s IG stories. While this is not an official Instagram feature, you can still sneak a peek at other people&#8217;s stories without them knowing. A burner account can be used to view a public account as long as they&#8217;re not blocked. Using a private account to spy on another person&#8217;s story is not as easy, but it&#8217;s still possible.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to sneakily spy on someone&#8217;s Instagram story is to follow them. Once you&#8217;ve followed them, you can send a thumbnail to their DM. Once they see it, you can view their full story. You can even ask them to view yours if they don&#8217;t want you to see theirs. After you&#8217;ve successfully viewed their story, you can send the story thumbnail to a DM, where you can view the entire thing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yrWIboQUm68\" width=\"508\" height=\"284\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to View Someone&#8217;s Instagram Story Without Them Knowing Want to find out how to view someone&#8217;s Instagram story without them knowing?
