” Who watched my stories? This is the question that most people ask about instagram. And theapplication allows them to access the statistics of their ephemeral photos or videos with the names, or rather nicknames, of the people who watched, but also those who reacted.
It should be remembered that a Story is a photo or video that will only be available for 24 hours on the person’s profile. After this time, it will no longer be accessible, and replaced by a new one. A function directly inspired by what was proposed SnapChat. In a story, images are displayed for 5 seconds and videos for 15 seconds. Soon instagram will propose to increase the duration at 60 seconds.
One of the constraints linked to Stories is that it is not possible, in theory, to access content anonymously. Once you click on a profile to access the content, the visualization is saved by the application. Still, there are ways to watch Stories anonymously. This anonymity can interest people who want to learn about a person in secret, or a company that wants to see the communication of a competing brand anonymously.
In fact, there are five solutions, and here they are.
The anonymous method
The simplest method is simply to create a second instagram account, which is used as a secret account. No one will be able to identify you, and you will be able to read Stories without being detected. The problem is that for private accounts, you will have to show your credentials, and it will of course be more complicated.
The “plane” method
As in WhatsApp, instagram preloads multimedia content as soon as you connect to the application. The goal: to speed up the display of images, videos and therefore Stories. Once you’ve launched Instagram, wait a minute. Next, switch your smartphone to airplane mode. You are then disconnected fromInternet and mobile network, and you can view the preloaded Stories without being identifiable.
The manual method
This first trick requires a little skill, both literally and figuratively. Indeed, it is a question of scrolling through the Stories, then going back to the Story that interests us. This trick is only valid for photos, and it will display only the first image posted if it is a list.
The first step is to locate the profile that interests you in the list of Stories, and press the profile that follows it. The first story appears, and you must then press the screen to pause it. And there, you have to slide the image to the right, which allows, with a 3D animation, to see the previous image, and therefore the previous Story. You have to keep your finger pressed, because if you release, the Story is really displayed, and the person will know that you have seen it.
The browser method
You can read Stories without them being counted, and for that you can take advantage of a website. It is storiesig.net. In the search field, enter the name of the nickname. In our example, footballer Aurélien Tchouaméni. After a few seconds, and viewing an advertisement, the site displays the current Stories, if the person has posted any in the last 24 hours. We can therefore view them, and even better, we can even download them. Just click on the link Download located lower.
The method with application
Whether on iPhone or Android, there is an app to access a user’s Stories anonymously.
For an iPhone, you have to download Story Repost. You have to register with your Instagram account, then use the search tool to access the desired profile. We then access the Stories in the form of a list.
For an Android device, same principle with Story Saver. You can search by trend, hashtag and of course nicknames.
