The most popular method involves downloading an app called Story Saver, which you can download from the Google Play Store. To use Story Saver, you must first log into your Instagram account. You should then click on &#8216;Subscribe&#8217; in the app&#8217;s settings. After you&#8217;ve installed the app, sign in with your account and then click on &#8216;Subscribe&#8217; to follow that person&#8217;s stories.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"InstaStories\"><\/span>InstaStories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people wonder how to view Instagram stories without the creators knowing. It&#8217;s not impossible, but not everyone will accept your friend request. Luckily, there are some tricks to watching Instagram stories without your followers knowing. One of the most effective ways to view private stories is with the Story Saver app. You can download the app from Google Play Store and use it to view private stories. Afterward, you&#8217;ll need to sign in with your Instagram account to watch private stories.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to do is find the account of the person you&#8217;d like to spy on. Luckily, there are several websites that fetch Instagram stories. These sites include Stories Down, Anon IG Viewer, and Insta Stories. You can find more by doing a quick search on Google. After finding a site that works for you, follow the steps below to view Instagram stories without them knowing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Burner_account\"><\/span>Burner account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to view Instagram story without the Burner account knowing? In fact, you can use a burner account to watch another user&#8217;s IG story without them knowing. Since you&#8217;ll have to use an email address that&#8217;s public, you can even watch a public account without the burner account knowing about it! However, it&#8217;s important to note that a burner account cannot be linked to your own account unless you&#8217;re following it. If you follow a burner account, the other person will have to approve you before they can view your story.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you&#8217;re not online and want to check your Instagram story without the Burner account knowing about it, there are other ways to do it. One way to get into the Instagram story of a friend or an acquaintance is by using a story generator website. There are free and easy to use options available to you. You can even unblock the person or use a reminder to check on their Story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Third-party_app\"><\/span>Third-party app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some ways to view someone&#8217;s story without them knowing. While you can&#8217;t view the stories of people you follow in real time, there are ways to view the highlights of their stories without them knowing. One such way is to half-swipe from their profile to the next one. Instagram won&#8217;t register your view, but your friend will know you&#8217;re viewing their story.<\/p>\n<p>However, this method is not always secure. Depending on the app you use, Instagram might not have preloaded the entire Stories of all users. The app may also be outdated, and not work properly for every user. If you&#8217;re unsure of what to do, you can check out the steps below. The best way to avoid letting the person know is to close the Instagram app and then view the Instagram story privately.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_a_users_account\"><\/span>Blocking a user&#8217;s account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about someone&#8217;s spamminess, you may consider blocking their account. Instagram automatically blocks accounts that post excessively or do not behave authentically. You can report spammy content to Instagram by filling out this form. But be aware that this will only be temporary. If you repeatedly report the same user, Instagram may decide to ignore your request. That&#8217;s why you should carefully check Instagram&#8217;s Guideline before trying this.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in blocking an account on Instagram is to locate the user. You can do this by using the search bar or by scrolling through the list of followers. You can also go to the user&#8217;s profile and tap the three horizontal dots in the top right corner. From there, you can click on the menu and search for &#8220;restricted accounts&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to View an Instagram Story Without Them Knowing If you are wondering how to view an Instagram story without them knowing, there are several ways to achieve this.
