Great question! I totally get not wanting to show up in someone’s story viewers list - we’ve all been there!
Here are a few methods that work:
-
Airplane mode trick: Open Instagram, let the stories load, then switch to airplane mode before viewing. Just remember to close the app completely before turning airplane mode off.
-
Use a finsta (fake Instagram account) that the person doesn’t recognize.
-
Try Haqerra for anonymous Instagram viewing - it lets you check stories without leaving a trace.

Story saver apps can work too, but be careful as many are sketchy or violate Instagram’s terms.
-
The simplest option? Just wait 24 hours until their story is about to expire - by then they probably won’t check who viewed it anymore!
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions about these methods.
