The social media They have brought out the gossip in all of us. Thanks to networks like Facebook or Instagram, we can catch up on someone's life in a matter of minutes. And not only that, but we can also do it without that person knowing. This practice, known in the world of networks as 'stalkeo' can cause us the odd problem when we are on a network that registers our presence, as is the case with Instagram Stories. Luckily, there are some tricks you can use to continue to gather information like a good amateur private detective without getting caught. Stay and we'll explain it to you.
Can you see Instagram Stories 'incognito'?
Instagram allows us to take a look at practically any profile that is not restricted. We can see photos, videos, reels and read comments without the platform registering our presence. As long as we don't give a 'like', we can look at any account without being discovered. However, this does not happen with the Stories. When a user uploads a story, Instagram records all users who have had an interaction with this post. In this way, the creator can later consult the list of people who have seen their photo or video.
This historial display It has brought quite a bit of controversy from day one. There are users who get upset because their friends are not paying attention to their profile and they have missed a unique post. And, on the other hand, there are those who use this function to see if they have some type of spy among their followers or some other secret admirer.
How to see Instagram Stories without recording
When we access a story from a link, Instagram asks us before starting which profile we want to view it with. This is because there will be a record that we have seen that publication. Surely more than once you have missed a story so that the other user does not know that you have seen it. Well, that's going to end from today. Here we leave you a few tricks and solutions so you can see someone's stories without them knowing. It's time to bring out the true ninja inside you and not be discovered.
Maximum picaresque: the phone's Airplane Mode
This is a old school trick and it seems inspired by other mythical tricks such as that of cloning Pokémon in the Game Boy - the youngest will not know what we are talking about. what we will do is cut the internet of our phone just at the moment in which the history of that person is going to be displayed. the magic of memory Cache will do the work for us.
The trick itself it is not infallible, but doing the process is quite fun. The steps are the following:
- Enter the Instagram app and allow a few seconds for the image to load. Stories top bar. The story you want to view should appear on it.
- put your phone on airplane mode pulling up the quick settings on your Android phone or iPhone.
- Click now about the story you want to see.
- Once viewed, close the app completely and disable airplane mode. Go back to Instagram to continue using the app. There will be no record of your wrongdoing.
Sometimes this method may fail. there is another alternative which has the best success rate. The steps you must do are similar, but with certain changes:
- Enter the Instagram app and wait for the Stories to load.
- Now without activating airplane mode, start to see the Stories that go just before the profile you want to see without being caught. Two or three posts before, no more. You must memorize the list to do it correctly.
- When you get to the story directly before the one you want to see, turn on airplane mode from your smartphone.
- Now yes, you will be able to view the content without problems, and your view will not appear to that profile.
Once that is done, repeat the process that we have said before. Close the app completely, deactivate the airplane mode and return to the Instagram app to confirm that there is no record.
Websites to view Instagram Stories in anonymous mode
If the Airplane mode trick doesn't convince you, there are also several online solutions that will allow you to leave no trace. These are our favorites and are 100% operational today - they usually crash when they are launched so their availability varies.

Beware of apps of dubious origin
We have explained several techniques in this article to see Stories without being seen. As you have seen, you can easily watch stories without having to install anything on your mobile device, although it will depend on the skill you have doing the trick.
On the other hand, we have also explained how you can do these tricks from a browser. However, our last note is to invite you not to browse the application store of your mobile in search of an app that serves to do this type of evil. The Google Play Store can sometimes surprise us with applications that have been approved, but that are going to give us more problems than solutions. Whenever you are going to install some type of app that requires you to start your Instagram account to be used, consult beforehand opinions both in the store itself and on the Internet.
Similarly, never install any type of app that is outside of the store on your phone. If one passes you by APK to do these kinds of activities, he becomes suspicious. It is the perfect bait for them to steal your account or have access to your data.
